Question

Jake tutors students. He charges $10 for the first session and $5 for each additional session. Let x
be the number of sessions after the first, and y be the total cost. Write the equation for cost y.

Answer 1

Answer: y = 5x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

y= 5x + 10

THINK ABOUT IT! if 5 is for EACH additional session and x is equal to the NUMBER OF SESSIONS...... then 5 times x will give you the cost for each additional session, but NOT INCLUDING THE 10 FOR THE FIRST SESSION. so simply just do 5x + 10 and y is the total cost so

y = 5x + 10

Answer 2

Answer:

y = 5x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the answer to this question we need to answer it using what the question gives us.

Jake charges 10 dollars for the first season

Jake charges 5 dollars for each additional session

Notice how it did not give us the number for how many additional sessions Jake had to complete so we will have to let x equal how many additional sessions Jake had to complete.

Y = total cost

Knowing all of this we can easily put it in a equation.

y = 5x + 10

Hope this helps.
