Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to make d the subject of the formula, you need to isolate it.
- You started with d-7 = 4d + 3/e
- Move 4d to the left side by subtracting 4d from both sides to cancel it from the right so you have...
d - 7 = 4d + 3/e This will leave you left with -3d - 7 = 3/e
-4d -4d
- Then move over the -7 by adding 7 to both sides...
-3d - 7 = 3/e This will leave you left with -3d = 3/e + 7
+7 +7
- Finally to get d by itself divide both sides of the equation by -3 and you'll be left with...
- You can cancel out the 3 in the -3/3e and make it -1/e so your final answer will be
<u>Part (a)</u>
The variable y is the dependent variable and the variable x is the independent variable.
<u>Part (b)</u>
The cost of one ticket is $0.75. Therefore, the cost of 18 tickets will be:
dollars
Now, we know that Kendall spent her money only on ride tickets and fair admission and that she spent a total of $33.50.
Therefore, the price of the fair admission is: $33.50-$13.50=$20
If we use y to represent the total cost and x to represent the number of ride tickets, the linear equation that can be used to determine the cost for anyone who only pays for ride tickets and fair admission can be written as:
......Equation 1
<u>Part (c)</u>
The above equation is logical because, in general, the total cost of the rides will depend upon the number of ride tickets bought and that will be 0.75x. Now, even if one does not take any rides, that is when x=0, they still will have to pay for the fair admission, and thus their total cost, y=$20.
Likewise, any "additional" cost will depend upon the number of ride tickets bought as already suggested. Thus, the total cost will be the sum of the total ride ticket cost and the fixed fair admission cost. Thus, the above Equation 1 is the correct representative linear equation of the question given.
