I think a non- integer rational number but I’m not real sure on that.
1/8 of all=mystery
mystery=3
'of' means multiply
therefor
1/8 times all=3
multiply both sides by 8/1 to clear fracion
all=24
Answer: y= - 4x+18
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation: y=mx+b
***remember: b is the y-intercept and m is the slope.
m=
3= x1
2= x2
6= y1
10=y2
m=
=
= -4
m=-4
Now we have y=-4x+b , so let's find b.
You can use either (x,y) such as (3,6) or (2,10) point you want..the answer will be the same:
(3,6). y=mx+b or 6=-4 × 3+b, or solving for b: b=6-(-4)(3). b=18.
(2,10). y=mx+b or 10=-4 × 2+b, or solving for b: b=10-(-4)(2). b=18.
Equation of the line: y=-4x+18
Divide both sides by 5
4x + 7 = 59
Subtract 7 on both sides
4x = 52
Divide 4 on both sides
x = 13
34.50/6 = 5.75
44/8 = 5.5
52.5/10 = 5.25
As the number of tickets increase, the cost per ticket decreases.
So it does not make sense to use a constant rate.
