Answer 2

Answer: The maximum number of visits a member of the science museum can make for a total cost of $41 is 5

Explanation:

Let x represent the number of visits a member of the science museum can make.

Let y represent total cost of x visits.

A person can pay $6 for a membership to the science museum and then go to the museum for just $7 per visit. This means that for x visits, the amount paid will be

y = 7x + 6

For a for a total cost of $41, it means y = 41, therefore,

41 = 7x + 6

7x = 41 - 6 = 35

x = 35/7

x = 5
