Considering the linear function 6x + 18 = 72, it is found that:
A. The problem is: You made a number of services for $6, plus a base pay of $18, and earned $72. How many services you made?
B. The solution is: x = 9.
C. In the context of this problem, the solution means that you made 9 services.
<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>
The general format of a linear function is presented as follows:
y = mx + b.
In which the coefficients are:
- m is the slope, representing the variable amount, that is, by how much y changes when x is increased by one.
- b is the y-intercept, which is the fixed amount.
In this problem, the equation is:
6x + 18 = 72.
From the given equation, considering the slope of 6 and the intercept of 18, the problem can be presented as follows:
You made a number of services for $6, plus a base pay of $18, and earned $72. How many services you made?
The solution is found isolating the variable x, as follows:
6x = 72 - 18
6x = 54
x = 54/6
x = 9.
The solution x = 9 represents the number of services that you made, in the context of this problem.
