The function c(x) = 18x -10 represents the cost in dollars. How many tickets can you buy?

Sagot :

Note: It seems you may have unintentionally missed writing the complete question. As total cost is missing.

So, I am assuming how many tickets Mr. XYZ can buy if he/she pays 98 dollars.

The solution would still clear your concept though.

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

Given the function

c(x) = 18x -10

comparing with the slope-intercept form of the line equation

  • rate of change = slope = m = 18
  • c(x) or y represents the cost

According to the function equation,

  • 'x' represents the number of tickets

Assuming the total cost i.e. c(x) = $98

In order to determine the value of x, set c(x) = 98

i.e.

98 = 18x -10

switch sides

18x - 10 = 98

add 10 to both sides

18x - 10 + 10 = 98 + 10

18x = 108

Divide 18 to both sides

18x/18 = 108/18

x = 6

Therefore, if you can buy x = 6 if you pay 98 dollars.
