Question

A charm bracelet costs $65, plus $25 for each charm. The equation -25x+y=65 represents the cost y (in dollars) of the bracelet, where x is the number of charms.
a. Graph the equation.
b. How much does a bracelet with three charms cost?

Answer 1

Answer:

  a.  see attached

  b.  $140

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

The graph starts at y=65 when x=0 and increases by 25 for each increase of 1 in x. The attachment shows a graph of the equation.

__

b.

Use x=3 in the equation.

  -25x +y = 65

  y = 65 +25x = 65 +25(3) = 140

A bracelet with 3 charms costs $140.
