Question

27) The cost of having a car towed is given by the
linear function C(x) = 3x + 65, where C(x) is in
dollars and x is the number of miles the car is
towed. Find the cost of having a car towed 7
miles.
2/2

Answer 1

86 Dollars

Explanation:

It is given that

`c(x) = 3x + 65 \\`

Since,x is the number of miles the car is towed which in this case is 7

So, If we input 7 in the function C(x)

`c(7) = 3 * 7 + 65`

We know through BODMAS that multiplication is done before addition.

Thus,

`c(7) = 21 + 65 \\ because \: 3 * 7 = 21 \\`

and so,

`c(7) = 86 \\ because \:21 + 65 = 86`

and so,

c(7) = 86

We also know that C(x) is the cost of having the car towed which is equal to 86 for the case of towing the car 7 miles

Thus,The cost of having the car towed 7 miles is 86 Dollars

Answer 2

It will cost $86.00 for the care to be towed 7 miles.

Explanation:

C(x) = 3x + 65 Substitute in 7 for x

C(7) = 3(7) + 65

C(x) = 21 + 65

C(x) = 86
