Answer:
$ 3750 = truck rental; $125 per ton of sugar transported
C is cost; S is number of tons transported
Equation relating C to S would be a linear equation like y = mx + b
C = 125S + $3750
This equation would be graphed in the first quadrant only
you would start with your y-intercept at (0, 3750)
As x increases by 1, your y increases by 125 yielding these points:
(1, 3875) (2, 4000) (3, 4125) etc.
This shows that for each increase by one ton of sugar, the cost goes up $125
Step-by-step explanation:
Linear would be the answer
Answer: x=1
Step-by-step explanation: Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :
3*x+2*(5*x-3)-(7)=0
3x + 2 • (5x - 3)) - 7 = 0
Pull out like factors :
13x - 13 = 13 • (x - 1)
13 = 0
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.
Solve : x-1 = 0
Add 1 to both sides of the equation :
x = 1
