Note: It seems you may have unintentionally missed writing the complete question. As total cost is missing.
So, I am assuming how many tickets Mr. XYZ can buy if he/she pays 170 dollars.
The solution would still clear your concept though.
Answer:
Please check the explanation.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the function
[tex]c(x) = 18x -10[/tex]
The slope-intercept form of the line equation
We know that the slope-intercept form of the line equation
y=mx+b
where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept
so
[tex]c(x) = 18x - 10[/tex]
comparing with the slope-intercept form of the line equation
here:
- c(x) or y represents the cost
and
'x' represents the number of tickets
Assuming the total cost i.e. c(x) = $170
In order to determine the value of x, set c(x) = 170
i.e.
170 = 18x -10
switch sides
18x - 10 = 170
add 10 to both sides
18x - 10 + 10 = 170 + 10
18x = 180
Divide 18 to both sides
18x/18 = 180/18
x = 10
Therefore, if you can buy x = 10 tickets if you pay 170 dollars.
