Each hour the store is open,another 13 customers entered the store,and 8 customers leave the store.use this information to complete the table: hours number of customers in the store 0 12 1 17 2 22 3 ? 4 ? the x value represents the number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hours,the y value represents the number of customers in the store. the equation that represents the number of customers in the store is y=?x+?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im sure 3=27 and 4=32 but correct me if im wrong,and i dont what the equation of the number of customers?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I was disconnected sorry.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\[\huge\color{red}{y=\frac{13}{8}x+12}\] 13/8 the rate of costumer's increase per hour. x is the number of hours 12 the number of costumers that were at the time the store opened. y costumers in total (depending on how many hours was the store open)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hey was i right that 3=27 and 4=32?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I think your table is wrong.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Do you see how I made the equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes but do you want me to show you the page where the question is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

maybe im asking the question wrong?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

could be.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I am 99.99% positive about my equation (based on the text in the question)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and what do you think is wrong with the equation i already comproved that first question just need to know the other question was on the bottom.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what i need to know of the table is what y= and x+ what?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

based on the table the equation is \[\huge\color{red}{y=5x+12}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you sure?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

y - number of costumers x - number of hours. based on the table 100%.
