were you able to write the equation?

Answer 3

3900+150s Thats what I got so far

Answer 4

good,

C = 150S + 3900

Answer 5

let's set up another T table with S being in place of x, C in place of y

Answer 6

if you transport 0 tons of sugar, what is the cost

in other words, if S = 0, then C = ??

Answer 7

Im not sure

Answer 8

replace S with 0 and evaluate

C = 150*S + 3900
C = 150*0 + 3900
C = ???

Answer 9

3900

Answer 10

if S = 1, then C = ??
