Question

Claire worked the problem below. Jane is having the carpet cleaned throughout her entire house. She plans to pay Carpets-R-Clean a service charge of $50 plus $25 per room. Write an equation to help Jane determine how much she will pay, y, if her home has x rooms with carpet.

Answer 1

Y= 50+25X (equation that determine how much will jane pay)

Because just for visiting her Carpets-R-Clean charges an amount of $50 so when x=0 we need y=50, and they charges $25 per room, that's why we multiply 25 by x.
