Y=mx+b
since the variable that will increase or deacrease is the number of books
then we set it to x
x=number of books
the member fee is constant so
b=10
the amount of money will increase by 5.99 per book so
m=5.99
the total amount of money will be our function since it depends on x
y=total amount of money
y=5.99x+10
total amount of money=5.99(number of books)+membership fee
1.) Jarvis lives 3 miles away from Cassidy and Theo lives 6 miles away.
(if Jarvis lives 3 miles away from Cassidy and Theo is twice as far from Jarvis, Theo would be twice as many miles away from Cassidy than Jarvis; 3 times 2 is 6; 3+6+=9)
2.) Jorge's watering can can hold 8 cups of water.
(Older brother's can hold 16 cups; 8+8+16= 32; there are 32 cups in 2 gallons)
128 times 2 is 256 divided by 2 is 128 scoops of ice cream
155 = 2x -15
170 = 2x
85 = x
