Aqua town charges $4.50 admission plus $0.75 for each ride. the cost at wet world is $2.59 admission plus $1.25 per ride.
a. let x represent the number of rides. write an expression for each relationship between the total cost and the number of rides.

wet world's
b. write an equation showing when the costs for both [arks are equal. solve the equation.
c. for what number of rides is the total cost at both parks the
what is that cost? be sure your answer is a complete sentence.

(a) 4.50 + 0.75x

2.59 + 1.25x

(b) 4.50 + 0.75x = 2.59 + 1.25x

(c) x = 3.82

Step-by-step explanation:

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
