Question

NEED HELP ASAP!!!

Dan and Barney are members of different video game libraries. Dan pays a membership fee of $35, and he pays $4 for every video game he rents. The following function shows the total amount of money, y, in dollars, that Barney pays for renting x number of video games: y = 3x + 30.

How many more dollars does Dan pay for a membership fee than Barney?

$1
$5
$26
$32

Answer 1

$5

Explanation:

The equation for Dan would be 35 + 4x = y, in which 35 is the membership fee and 4 is the amount it costs to rent a game. Based on that same logic, the equation for Barney would be 30 + 3x = y (if you rewrite it), in which case the membership fee would be 30 and 3 would be the amount it costs to rent a game. And since 35 - 30 = 5, that means that there is a five dollar difference between Dan and Barney's membership fees.
