Two sisters decide to take a series of acting lessons. One decides to pay a flat rate of $75, shown as f(x). The other just wants to pay $5.00 per lesson, shown as g(x). Which function shows the correct combination of these two functions to represent the amount the parent should pay, shown as h(x)?

Question

anonymous · Answer

f(x) = 75, g(x) = 5x, h(x) = 5x + 75

f(x) = 75x, g(x) = 5, h(x) = 75x + 5

f(x) = 75, g(x) = 5, h(x) = 5 + 75

f(x) = 75x, g(x) = 5x, h(x) = 75x + 5x

I don't want to just be given the answer, step by step would be nice, if anyone is up for it.

@jim_thompson5910 Can you please?

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

are you able to find f(x) and g(x)?

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

g(x) = 5 means that you have a flat rate of $5

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

but that's not what the problem states

anonymous · Answer

$$g(x) = 5x*$$

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

better

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

h(x) is the total cost for both sisters combined

anonymous · Answer

So $$h(x) = 75 + 5x?$$

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

correct

anonymous · Answer

or A.) $$F(x) = 75, G(x) = 5x, H(x) = 5x + 75$$
