Question

A water park charges $5 for entry into the park and an additional $2 for each of the big water slides. Steven spent $17 on his visit to the water park. Which equation can be used to find the number of big water slides, x, that Steven went on?

A. 5 + 2x = 17
B. 5x + 2 = 17
C. 5x + 2x = 17
D. 5 + 2 = 17x

Answer 1

Your on your own man starry

Answer 2

it would be A because he payed a total of $17 so everything equals that, and then 2x because x represents the water slides he is gonna go on and 2 because that’s how much it is for each one. the plus 5 is the entry into the park
