Answer 1

The other person is incorrect, above or below, I really don't know.

Step-by-step explanation:

Correct answer:

y = 6.50x + 11

Step-by-step explanation:

1 adult, therefore 11 shouldn't have any variable(s).**

There's x children under the ago of 12, thus 6.50x has a variable.**

y = the total cost in dollars

($)11 and ($)6.50**

the cost of skating and ice skating ring

Answer 2

y = 6.5 + 11x

Step-by-step explanation:

cost = price of children * number of children + price of adults * number of adults

We know price of adults = 11

price of children = 6.50

cost = y

y = 6.50 * number of children + 11 * number of adults

We have 1 adult and x children

y = 6.50 *1 + 11 x

y = 6.5 + 11x
