Question

Tickets to a baseball game cost $22 each and parking costs $10. What is the equation of the line that represents the cost of attending the game?

Answer 1

x - number of games

22x - cost of x tickets

10 - parking cost

The equation:

`y=22x+10`

Answer 2

y = 22x + 10

Explanation:

Given,

The cost of each ticket = $ 22,

Let x be the number of tickets,

Then, the cost of x tickets = x × cost of each ticket

= 22x dollars,

Now, parking cost = $ 10,

So, the total cost of attending the game ( say y ) = cost of all tickets + parking cost

⇒ y = 22x + 10

Which is the required equation.
