You are selling lemonade. You find that if you set the price at $2.00 per cup, you sell 14 cups over the

course of a day. You also notice that for every $0.10 you decrease the price by, you sell 3 more cups over
the course of the day. Come up with a linear equation to model this situation.

Explanation:

$2.00x-($.10x)=3+x

the x would stand for cups and since you already get 3 more cups in a day than before then you would put 3+x_how many cups you sell. the $2.00 is for how much money each up is. and the -$.10 is subtracting 10 cents for each cup you sell.

I dont know if this is correct but this is how I would make my equation
