Question

A limousine charges $35 plus $2 per
mile. Which equation shows the total
cost of a ride in the limousine?
Select one:
a. 2x +35y = 2
b. y = 35x + 2
c. y = 2x + 35
d. y = 2x -35

Answer 1

If x = miles, then $2 is "paired" with the variable.

Therefore, \[y = 2x + 35\] with the units being in dollars.

Answer 2

$2 is paired with the variable "x" because the trip could be anywhere from 1 mile to 100000 miles. The value of "x" changes.
