The cost to go on a cruise is given by the literal equation C = 4000x + 500 where C is the total cost of the trip and x represents the number of trips. How many trips did you take if the cost totaled $12,500?

I’ll give {brainiest}

x = 3 trips

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the cost function, C = 4000x + 500, where C represents the total cost of the trip, and x represents the number of trips:

We can solve for x by substituting the given value for C in the cost function:

C = 4000x + 500

$12,500 = 4000x + 500

Subtract 500 from both sides of the equation:

$12,500 - 500 = 4000x + 500 - 500

$12,000 = 4000x

Divide 4000 on both sides of the equation to solve for x:

x = 3

Therefore, for a total cost of $12,500, it took 3 trips.

answer: the answer is one of

step-by-step explanation:   we are given to write a proper fraction where the whole is divided into an even number of equal parts less than ten, and an odd number of those parts exist.

an even number less than 10 may be one of 2, 4, 6 or 8. so, the whole may be one of these four evens.

now, an odd number of these parts must exist, so the numerator must be an odd number, one of 1, 3, 5 or 7. it cannot be 9 because then the fraction will become improper.

thus, our fraction may be one of the following
