Question

Part 1: Sam rented a boat at $225 for 2 days. If he rents the same boat for 5 days, he has to pay a total rent of $480.

Write an equation in standard form to represent the total rent that same has to pay for renting the boat for x days.

Part 2: Describe the steps to graph the equation obtained above on the coordinate axes. Mention the labes on the axes and the intervals.

Please help!! D:

Answer 1

principal amount+days*priceperday

Answer 2

How would that look as a normal equation?

Answer 3

im trying to figure it out :S

Answer 4

Same. :/

Answer 5

ok
i think

Answer 6

the price per day is not the same

Answer 7

i did
y=225-2x
y=480-5x
and solved for y
got y=55

Answer 8

So, what would be the answer for Part 1?

Answer 9

55 p[rincipal + 85 per day

Answer 10

price of rental=85x+55

Answer 11

Ah, okay. Thanks!

Answer 12

it works for both cases

Answer 13

Gotcha. So, do you think you know the answer to Part 2?

Answer 14

therefore they cahrge a free of 55 bucks + 85 days per day of rental

Answer 15

easy, the graphs starts at x=0, and y=55, because thats the minimum they will eb cahrged at 0 days

Answer 16

Also,
{x + 2 y = 225, x + 5 y = 480}
{x = 55, y = 85}
x is how much to rent the boat and y is the daily rate.

Answer 17

the coordinates are as follows

Answer 18

0,55 1,(55+85)

Answer 19

etc

Answer 20

So, how should I answer Part 2?

Answer 21

Hello? .3.

Answer 22

A plot is attached. The plot is of the line y = 85x + 55 and the points
{ {2, 225}, {5, 480} }
