Answer:
A) $77.50
B) 8 tickets
Step-by-step explanation:
A) c(x) = 17.5x - 10
Substitute 5 for x
c(x) = 17.5(5) - 10
Multiply
c(x) = 87.5 - 10
Subtract
c(x) = 77.5
B) 130 is the cost, so substitute 130 for c(x)
130 = 17.5x - 10
Add 10 to each side to move the constants to one side
140 = 17.5x
Divide each side by 17.5 to isolate the variable
8 = x
