Answer 1

A. y = 50 + 25x

B. number of session (x) = 8

Substitute x= 8 in the equation y= 50 + 25x

y = 50 + 25( 8 )= 50 + 200 = $250

The total cost for 8 tutoring sessions is $250

C. y = $200

x= ?

y = 50 + 25x

200 = 50 + 25x

200 - 50 = 25x

150 = 25x

Dividing through by 25

x = 150/25 =6

He attended 6 tutoring sessions
