Question

HelpppPppppp me if u do ill give u a pringle

Paul paid $10 for a ticket to the fair and then another $2 per ride. Write an equation to show how many rides x, Paul can take if he has $40.
2x = 40
2x - 10 = 40
10x + 2 = 40
2x + 10 = 40

Answer 1

D) 2x+10=40, x= 15 rides

Explanation:

Since Paul only bought one ticket, then $10 is the constant of the equation. Since Paul pays $2 per ride, $2 will be the rate/coefficient of the equation.

Since we are solving for x, $40 will be on the right side of the equation

Putting these three facts together, we can make the equation 2x+10=40 which means D is correct
