Question

A CABLE COMPANY CHARGES $25 PER MONTH AND $5 FOR EVERY PAY-PER-VIEW MOVIE ORDERED. WRITE THE EQUATION THAT REPRESENTS THE SITUATION,LET B represent the total bill and M represent the number of movies

complete the table
M           B
1            30
2
3
              65        graph the solution

Answer 1

B = 25+5x

Explanation:

B = 25+5x

Since 25 is a set price you leave it by itself, but since you don't know how many movies are ordered, you say 5x (5 times the amount ordered).

M B

1 $30 --> 25+5x1 = 30

2 $35 --> 25+5x2 = 25+10 = 35

3 $40 --> 25+5x3 = 25+15 = 40

8 $65 --> you can do that trial error method, sub in numbers in place of M

to figure out what adds up to $65. In this case it was 8

Just put that into a graph now, so put M on the x axis, and B on the y axis, and plot dots for each number, and draw a line linking the dots

Hope this helped :)

Answer 2

B=m*5+25
M=2. B=2*5+25=35
M=3. B=3*5+25=40
