Q. Josiah is going to the amusement park, where he has to pay a set price of admission and another price for tickets to go on each of the rides. The total amount of money Josiah will spend is given by the equation y=14+3.5x, where y represents the total amount of money, in dollars and cents, and x represents the number of rides Josiah goes on. What is the meaning of the y-value when x=1 ?The total amount of money Josiah will spend if he goes on o rides.The total amount of money Josiah will spend if he goes on 100 rides.The change in the total amount of money he will spend for every additional ride he goes on.The total amount of money Josiah will spend if he goes on 1 ride.
Question Prompt: Question prompt: What is the meaning of the y-value when x=1 in the equation y=14+3.5x?
Understand the Equation: Understand the equation y=14+3.5x. The equation represents a linear relationship between the number of rides Josiah goes on (x) and the total amount of money he will spend (y). The number 14 represents the set price of admission, and 3.5 represents the price for each ride.
Substitute x=1: Substitute x=1 into the equation to find the y-value when Josiah goes on 1 ride.y=14+3.5(1)
Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication 3.5 times 1. 3.5×1=3.5
Add to Set Price: Add the result from Step 3 to the set price of admission to find the total amount of money Josiah will spend.y=14+3.5y=17.5
Interpret y-value: Interpret the y-value when x=1. The y-value of 17.5 represents the total amount of money Josiah will spend if he goes on 1 ride, including the set price of admission.
