The Buchanan Town Carnival charges $5 to enter and $2 for each ride.

Write an expression to represent how much it would cost to go to the carnival and rider rides. Then, figure out how many rides you could ride if you have $17.00.

4. Create your own scenario for the variable expression below. Then, suggest values for the variables and solve them. 14x + 12y

The expression is y = 2x + 5. You could ride 6 rides with $17 dollars.

See Step by Step for scenario

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we must find the expression. 5 is our constant as we are charged this just to enter, and our cost increases by 2 for every x ride. So, our equation is:

y = 2x + 5.

If we have 17 dollars and want to know how many rides we can ride, we plug in 17 for y which is cost and solve.

17 = 2x + 5 | Subtract 5 from both sides

12 = 2x | Divide both sides by 2

6 = x, meaning you could ride 6 rides with $17.

Zane loves Skittles and M&M's. If a small pack of skittles costs 14 cents, and a small pack of M&M's costs 12 cents, how much will he spend to buy 6 packs of skittles and 4 packs of M&M's?

c = 14x + 12y

c = 14 (6) + 12 (4)

c = 84 + 48

c = 132, or $1.32

Zane will have to spend $1.32 to buy 6 packs of skittles and 4 packs of M&M's.
