Answer:

A. 500 = 180 + 15x

So Ms.Douglas has a budget of $500 and she is going to spend $180 going to and from school on a bus. 180 is your constant. It is $15 per person to enter the gate of the amusement park and 15 is your variable.

So 500 = 180 +15x

Explanation:

B. 500 = 180 + 15x

320 = 15x

x = 21.333333

but since we are talking about people here Ms.Douglas can only take 21 people

I hope this helps

Answer:

A) 180+15x=500

B) 21 people.

Explanation:

$180

so 500-180 is 320.

320/15 is 21 1/3

So, Ms. Douglas can take 20 students and herself :)

Part A:

180+15x=500

180-180+15x=500

15x=320

x=21 1/3, so Ms. Douglas can afford to take 21 people,, but one of them is herself.

Hope this helps pls hit the crown :D
