Eva is going to the amusement park, where she 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 Eva will spend is given by the equation y=26+1.5x. , where y represents the total amount of money, in dollars and cents, and represents the number of rides Eva goes on . What could the number 1.5 represent in the equation ?

B. The change in the total amount if money for every one additional ride she goes on

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

y = 26 + 1.5x, where,

y = total amount of money Eva will spend

x = number of rides Eva rides on

Thus,

Set price of admission into the amusement park = $26

Price per ride = $1.5

Therefore, the 1.5 I'm the equation can be said to be "the change in the total amount if money for every one additional ride she goes on".

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18
