Question

☃ Hello Everyone!

I need help please...

The cost of going to a drive-in movie theater is $5.50 per person plus $2.75 per car. Use the dropdown menu to create an algebraic equation that shows how many people can go to the drive-in with one car for $19.25 if x equals the number of people in the car.

x
5.5x
2.75x
19.25x
+
5.50
2.75
19.25
x
=
5.50
2.75
19.25

Make a explanation to this... do not copy g.oogle, or in other websites!

And maybe you can show proof how you got the answer?

Thanks~

Answer 1

3 people can go into the drive-in movie theater.

Explanation:

19.25-2.75=16.5

16.5/5.50=3

Answer 2

5.5x + 2.75 = 19.25

Explanation:

x is the number of people, and each person costs 5.5. So the first one would be 5.5x.

Since it's only one car, we can just put 2.75.

We're trying to find the max amount, which is 19.25. So our equation must be equal to 19.25.

Making it 5.5x + 2.75 = 19.25
