Question

The value of a collectible coin can be represented by the equation y=2x+9.74, where x represents the number of years that Consuello has owned the coin and y represents the total value, in dollars, of the coin. What was the value of the coin when Consuello originally purchased it?

Explanation:

YOUR WELCOME!! :)

Answer 2

y = 2x + 9.74
x = number of years owned
y = total value in dollars

y = 2(0) + 9.74
y = 9.74
Substitute x with 0 because the question asks what is the value of coin when consuelo originally purchased it. So, at the time of purchase it's been 0 years since he owned it.
