Describe what the equation y = 50x + 200 means in the real-world context.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I completely forgot how to do this

OpenStudy (smartanne):

I can help

OpenStudy (benlindquist):

OpenStudy (smartanne):

Is the problem asking for a scenario in which the equation could be used?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Mrs. Solar is remodeling a house and is looking for a contractor to do the work. She is getting quotes from 3 different contractors, and will hire one of them based on the total cost. Each company uses a formula to calculate its fees based on the number of hours the work will take.

OpenStudy (smartanne):

Ya thats a good example

OpenStudy (smartanne):

You can also use a business in which the starting price is $200 and every time you want something additional it cost $50. So x would be the amount of additional things you buy.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh

OpenStudy (smartanne):

Hope that helps! Medal if it does. Fan me and I'll fan back

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So is "real-world context" simply a real life situation?

OpenStudy (smartanne):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay
