A bowling alley charges $3.50 each game in addition to $8 for shoes. What is the equation the represents y, the total cost for bowling for x games?

In this question, we have to make an equation with the given scenario.

We can make an equation using slope intercept form:

y = mx + b

Whereas:

y = total cost

x = amount of games

We know that the bowling alley charges $3.50 for EACH game

So we can represent that with our "m" variable, it would be: 3.50x

Our equation as of right now:

y = 3.50x + b

We also know that the bowling alley charges a one-time payment of $8 for shoes, so that would be our "b" variable.

Plug 8 into the b value:

y= 3.50x + 8

y= 3.50x + 8

the solution of the equation is 2.23 ⇒ answer b

step-by-step explanation:

* lets revise the meaning of exponential function

- the form of the exponential function is y = ab^x, where a ≠ 0, b > 0 ,  

  b ≠ 1, and x is any real number

- it has a constant base b

- it has a variable exponent x

- to solve an exponential equation, take the log or ln of both sides,  

  and solve for the variable

* lets solve the problem

∵

- the base is 7 and the exponent is x

- insert ㏑ in both sides

∴

- use the rule

∴ x ㏑(7) = ㏑(77)

- to find x divide both sides by ㏑(7)

∴

* the solution of the equation is 2.23 to the nearest 2 decimal places
