The function c(x) = 18x -10 represents the cost in dollars. How many tickets can you buy?
1 answer:
<em>Note: It seems you may have unintentionally missed writing the complete question. As total cost is missing.</em>
<em>So, I am assuming how many tickets Mr. XYZ can buy if he/she pays 530 dollars.</em>
<em>The solution would still clear your concept though.</em>
Answer:
Please check the explanation.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the function
c(x) = 18x -10
The slope-intercept form of the line equation
We know that the slope-intercept form of the line equation
where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept
so
c(x) = 18x - 10
comparing with the slope-intercept form of the line equation
- rate of change = 18
- c(x) or y represents the cost
- 'x' represents the number of tickets
Assuming the total cost i.e. c(x) = $530
In order to determine the value of x, set c(x) = 530
i.e.
530 = 18x -10
switch sides
18x - 10 = 530
add 10 to both sides
18x - 10 + 10 = 530 + 10
18x = 540
Divide 18 to both sides
18x/18 = 540/18
x = 30
Therefore, if you can buy x = 30 tickets if you pay 530 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:
The steps to solving an equation are those that undo the operations done to the variable. Here, the variable is multiplied by 2/3 and 15 is added to the product.
We undo the addition of 15 by subtracting 15 (from both sides of the equation).
We undo the multiplication by 2/3 by multiplying both sides of the equation by its inverse, 3/2.
It is useful to do simplification after each of these steps.
Attention needs to be paid to the signs. When 15 is subtracted from 9, a negative result is obtained. When that is multiplied by a positive number (3/2), a negative result remains.
