Question

A game stop membership cost $20 and includes one game A month for five dollars. Nonmembers can get one more game a month for seven dollars. What a system of a simulation in linear equations to use this information to decide whether to become a

Answer 1

C(x) = 5x + 20 (for members)

C(x) = 3.5x (for non-members)

Explanation:

Cost of membership = $20

Price of a game per month = $5

So, the linear equation to compute the total cost for a member can be computed by:

C(x) = 5x + 20

where x is the number of games per month

On the other hand, non-members can get one more game per month for $7 which means they get 2 games for $7. The price for a single game is $7/2 = $3.5 a month.

The linear equation to compute the total cost for a non-member is:

C(x) = 3.5x

where x is the number of games per month.

The following system of equations can be used to decide whether to become a member or not, by substituting the number of games in place of x and finding out the total cost.

C(x) = 5x + 20 (for members)

C(x) = 3.5x (for non-members)
