We want to find the total value spent inf the park f(x) in function of the total number of rides taken x

We can represent it by a linear function f(x) = ax + b

Since there's a $8 entrance fee, we know that b = 8

And, since every ride costs $2, we know that a = 2

Therefore, f(x) = 2x + 8

The answer is A
