Question

Find the solution of y = 2x + 5 for x = 1.

Alexandra has a home-based business putting on children’s parties. She charges $60 to design the party and then $4.00 per child. Write a function rule that relates the total cost of the party to the number of children n.

Answer 1

1.)

y = 2x + 5 for x = 1

y = 2(1) + 5

y = 2 + 5

y = 7

2.) The function rule that relates the total cost of the party to the number of children n.

TCP = $60 + $4(n)
