Question

A 2-column table with 'Type of Bag' and 'Fee per Bag' as the column headings. The first checked bag costs $20, the second checked bag costs $25, and extra bags cost $50 each

If x represents the total number of bags a person checks and each person checks more than two bags, the equation below can be used to determine C, the total fee for all the bags.

20 + 25 + 50(x - 2) = C

Arianna paid a total of $145 to check all her bags on a flight. How many bags did she check in all

Answer 1

C = 145
20 + 25 +50(x-2) = 145
solve for x

Answer 2

how do i solve for x

Answer 3

20 + 25 +50(x-2) = 145

add like terms on left side
45 + 50(x-2) = 145

subtract 45 from both sides
50(x-2) = 100

divide both sides by 50
x - 2 = 2

add 2 to both sides
x = 4
