Question

You want to rent movies online. The new service charges a sign up fee of $10. Then, you can rent as many movies as you want for $12 per month. Which equation shows the total cost for renting movies over time?

Answer 1

t=10+(12×m)

t=total cost

m=months in which you rent

Answer 2

y = 10 + 12x

Explanation:

Let x represents the number of months and y represents the total fees for x months,

Given,

The fixed sign up fee = $ 10,

Also, the additional fees for renting a movie = $ 12 per month,

Thus, the total fees for x months = 10 + 12x

`\implies y = 10 + 12x`
