please help !!!!

Answer 1

b.

Explanation:

As it says there is already a set up fee of $80 and it is $4 FOR EVERY advertisement, the equation would be y = 80 + 4x. Obviously, y should be greater than x since you are calculating the cost and not anything else, so b should be your answer. Even without logically guessing, the equation proves that b is correct.

Hope this helped!
