Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
For this problem, it says that the company not only shipped packages, but also bought a number of stamps. From the equation 6.70+0.50x, it's fairly easy to say that 6.70 is the packages,
What's not so easy is figuring out whether or not 0.50 is the stamps, or x is. However, there's an easy way to figure it out!
From this one, we would have to use "common sense" (not my words, someone elses). Using "common sense", we have to think, can someone buy 0.50 of a stamp?
Technically yes... But would someone buy 0.5 of a stamp? Not really.
So we can safetly assume that x is the "stamp", and 0.50 is <em>the cost of the stamp</em>.
Hope this helps!
Input (x-value)
Output (y-value)
You need to find the x-value that produces a y-value of -1. Since you know:
y = -1 Use the rule, and substitute/plug this into the equation
y = -2x + 33 Plug in -1 for "y" in the equation since y = -1
-1 = -2x + 33 Subtract 33 on both sides
-1 - 33 = -2x + 33 - 33
-34 = -2x Divide -2 on both sides to get "x" by itself
17 = x
An input of 17 yields an output of -1
