hi, yes i have a world problem so it goes you s tart a pet washing serive u spend $30 on supplies and plan to wash dogs for $5 each write an equation to realte your profit (y) to your number of pets (x) you wash

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It costs you $30. You make $5 per wash. So, what the money you make for x pets?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they are asking to draw an equation based off of the number of pets you wash and you supplies and how that relates to your profit

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For x washes, how much you get paid?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, your profit, but how does the $30 fit in?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First answer how much you get paid for x washes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is 5x. Then, you have to take out your cost to find profit. So, y = 5x - 30.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you so much! but then how would i find the x and y intercepts?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

switch it into standard form?
