Aldo takes classes at both westside community college and pinewood community college. at westside, class fees are $98 per credit hour, and at pinewood, class fees are $115 per credit hour. aldo is taking a combined total of 14 credit hours at the two schools. suppose that he is taking w credit hours at westside. write an expression for the combined total dollar amount he paid for his class fees.

Let Y = total cost of both schools.

The total cost would be ( number of credits at Westside x 98) + (number of credits at Pinewood x 115).

The total number of credits he is taking is 14.

If w is the number of credits at Westside, then for Westside you have 98w ( $98 times the number of credit hours)

The equation is now y = 98w +  (number of credits at Pinewood x 115).

The number of credit hours at Pinewood would be the total credit  hours 14 minus the credit hours at Westside w, so you have 14-w, which needs to be multiplied by the cost at Pinewood.

The equation is now y = 98w + 115(14-w)

This can be simplified using the distributive property to:

Y = 98w + 1610 - 115w

Y = -17w + 1610

step-by-step explanation:

here's what happens:

1) the graph of f   = x^2 is shifted 2 units to the right.

2) the resulting graph is reflected in the x-axis, so that the parabola now opens down.

3) this final result is transformed up by 5 units.
