Question

Smith Automotive needs to hire a new mechanic. They decide to place an

ad in the Springfield Herald. A classified ad in the Springfield Herald costs
$45 for the first five lines. There is a charge of $5 for each additional line.

Answer 1

y = 45 + 5(x - 5)

where y is the total cost of the ad, and x is the total number of lines in the ad

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of lines in the ad

Let y = total cost

If the cost of the ad is $45 for the first 5 lines and $5 for each additional line then the expression for the total cost of the ad is:

y = 45 + 5(x - 5)

Answer 2

equation: y = 5(x-5) + 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Here "y" represents the total money earned. "x" represents the earning from additional line. the constant variable is "45" and does not change.
