Question

Leeanne plans to sell her car and places an x-line ad. The newspaper charges p dollars for the

first k lines and e dollars per extra line, to run the ad for a week.
When x > k, write an algebraic expression for the cost of running the ad for a week.
a.
b. When x

Answer 1

a. When x > k, the cost of running the ad for a week can be expressed as:

C = p + e(x - k)

where C is the cost in dollars, p is the cost per k lines, e is the cost per extra line, and (x - k) is the number of extra lines over k.

b. When x ≤ k, the cost of running the ad for a week can be expressed as:

C = p

where C is the cost in dollars and p is the cost per k lines. Since the number of lines x is less than or equal to k, there are no extra lines and the cost is simply the base cost of p dollars for k lines.
