2.50(15) + 20

rootbeer003:

revenue = 57.5

Vocaloid:

good so far

rootbeer003:

uhh how would i do the other part

Vocaloid:

they give you revenue, so you can plug in 67.50 for y and solve for x

rootbeer003:

67.50 = 2.50x + 20 ?

Vocaloid:

yes

Vocaloid:

(I'm assuming the $20 membership is a 1-time fee rather than a monthly one, although it's not specified in the question)

Vocaloid:

67.50 = 2.50x + 20 start by subtracting 20 from both sides, that way all the variables are on one side and all of the constants are on the other

rootbeer003:

47.5 = -17.5x

Vocaloid:

remember, if we are only subtracting 20, that shouldn't affect any of the x-terms

Vocaloid:

2.50x - 20 is not equal to -17.50x because 2.50x and 20 are not like terms

rootbeer003:

oh 47.5 = 2.50x

Vocaloid:

good, then you can just divide both sides by 2.50 to isolate x

rootbeer003:

19 = x

Vocaloid:

good, so 19 movies rented
