Question

Lacey bought tickets to use for rides at the local carnival. Each ride requires the same number of tickets. The expression 60 minus 5 x models the number of tickets Lacey has left after going on x rides. According to the model, Lacey bought Blank space 1 empty tickets and each ride needs Blank space 2 empty tickets.

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) Initial ticket = 60

(b) 5 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Expression = 60 - 5x$

Solving (a): Initial Tickets

A linear function is represented as:

$y = c + mx$

Where c is the initial value

In this case, c represents the initial tickets.

By comparing

$y = c + mx$ to $Expression = 60 - 5x$

$c= 60$

Solving (b): Tickets needed on each ride

This represents the rate

In $y = c + mx$, m represents the rate

By comparing

$y = c + mx$ to $Expression = 60 - 5x$

$m = -5$

It is negative because 5 tickets is subtracted for each ride.

Hence, the number of ticket per ride is 5
