Final answer:

The correct situation for the equation 6 + 0.5x = 26 is B, where Anne can afford to go on 40 rides at the carnival with $26.

Step-by-step explanation:

The situation that can be represented by the equation 6 + 0.5x = 26 is option B. Anne pays $6 to enter a carnival and $0.50 for every ride she goes on at the carnival. What is x, the number of rides Anne can go on if she has $26 to spend at the carnival?

This is because the $6 is a fixed cost, similar to an entry fee, and the $0.5x represents a variable cost, which in this case is the number of rides Anne can take multiplied by the per ride cost of $0.50. By solving the equation, we can determine the value of x, which represents the number of rides Anne can enjoy.

To solve for x, subtract 6 from both sides of the equation:

  1. 6 + 0.5x - 6 = 26 - 6
  2. 0.5x = 20
  3. x = 20 / 0.5
  4. x = 40

This means Anne can go on 40 rides at the carnival with her $26.
