The cost of parking is an initial cost plus an hourly cost.
The first hour costs $7.
You need a function for the cost of more than 1 hour,
meaning 2, 3, 4, etc. hours.
Each hour after the first hour costs $5.
1 hour: $7
2 hours: $7 + $5 = 7 + 5 * 1 = 12
3 hours: $7 + $5 + $5 = 7 + 5 * 2 = 17
4 hours: $7 + $5 + $5 + $5 = 7 + 5 * 3 = 22
Notice the pattern above in the middle column.
The number of $5 charges you add is one less than the number of hours.
For 2 hours, you only add one $5 charge.
For 3 hours, you add two $5 charges.
Since the number of hours is x, according to the problem, 1 hour less than the number of hours is x - 1.
The fixed charge is the $7 for the first hour.
Each additional hour is $5, so you multiply 1 less than the number of hours,
x - 1, by 5 and add to 7.
C(x) = 7 + 5(x - 1)
This can be left as it is, or it can be simplified as
C(x) = 7 + 5x - 5
C(x) = 5x + 2
Answer: C(x) = 5x + 2
Check:
For 2 hours: C(2) = 5(2) + 2 = 10 + 2 = 12
For 3 hours: C(3) = 5(3) + 2 = 15 + 2 = 17
For 4 hours: C(3) = 5(4) + 2 = 20 + 2 = 22
Notice that the totals for 2, 3, 4 hours here
are the same as the right column in the table above.
Answer:
x is 11
Step-by-step explanation:
We know the slope (3/4) and a point (3,-4), so we can use point-slope form (y-y1=m(x-x1)
Substitute the numbers into the equation
y--4=3/4(x-3)
simplify
y+4=3/4(x-3)
do the distributive property
y+4=3/4x-9/4
subtract 4 from both sides
y=3/4x-25/4
this is the equation of the line.
Since it says that (x,2) is a point in the equation, we can substitute it into the equation
2=3/4x-25/4
add 25/4 to both sides
33/4=3/4x
multiply by 4/3
11=x
we can double check by plugging (11,2) into the equation of the line.
2=3/4(11)-25/4
2=33/4-25/4
2=2
it works! :)
Hope this helps!
X = 0. Since the absolute value of -2x+6 is 2x+6, the absolute value sign acts as () so it would be -4(2x+6) = -24. That would come out to be -8x -24 = -24. Using proper algebra, the answer would come out to be 0
Answer:
$26.80
Step-by-step explanation:
(I don't know exactly how other people were taught to do percentages, but this is how I was taught and I find it the easiest for me.)
You are going to subtract your percentage number by 100.
100 - 33 = 67
This will give you your multiplier so you can then get your answer but you have to turn it into a decimal.
0.67 x 40 = 26.80
Answer:
no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2(4x+14)=2(x-7)
Multiply both sides by 2.
4x + 14 = 4(x - 7)
4x + 14 = 4x - 28
Subtract 4x from both sides.
14 = -28
Since 14 = -28 is a false statement, there is no solution for this equation.
Answer: no solution
