Question

To get into the carnival, it costs $5. Then each ride costs $2.25. *Use a linear equation to solve the following:

Answer 1

Answer:

equation: y=2.25x+5

a: 13 rides

b:$20.75 for 7 rides

explanation:

a: 35=2.25x+5

first subtract 5 from 5 and 35

30=2.25x

divide each side by 2.25

x= 13 1/3

can only go on 13 rides

b: y=2.25(7)+5

2.25×7=15.75

15.75+5=20.75

$20.75 for 7 rides
