Part C: Explain how the equations from Part A and Part B differ. (2 points)

Respuesta :

Answer:

Part A 70x+50=250

Part B(75x + 35) = 250 - 5x

Step-by-step explanation:

Here to form an equation you must add all the money that she earned and subtract the money that she had to spend We dont know how many car washes she did, so we must represent it with a variable, or x.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A: Rhett washed 3 cars and earned $50 in tips. y=70x+50

Part B: $75 - $5 = $70 (this is the amount charged minus the amount needed to get the job done per car wash)

the +35 is the tips extra/ constant that will be added after the jobs are done.

x is the number of car washes done

y would be the profit received.

so y = 70x + 35 (profit = value of car wash * number of cars washed + tips)
