Question

Please help me im horrable at math

Answer 1

1.) First plug in the values for m and A:

$2555 = 139(4) + b$

--> $2555 = 556 + b$

Isolate b: $2555 - 556 = 556 - 556 + b$

b = 1999

So your answer is the first option.

2.) Admission costs $5.25, so even if you don't go on any rides, you will still have to pay $5.25. This means that for this problem, 5.25 will be the b value. If each ride costs $2.50, then this means it is $2.50x for the cost of x rides. The total cost will then be $C = 5.25 + 2.50x$.
