Question

Mrs.Jones is a swim lesson instructor.For each lesson, she charges $35 for the pool usage fee plus $35 per hour . Write an equation that can be used to find y, the total charge of the swim lesson, if x represent the number of hours of lessons

Answer 1

Answer: The equation will be set up as y=mx+b. Mrs. Jones charges $35 per hour, so we can substitute m for 35 with x representing the number of hours. The $35 for pool usage fee will be substituted for b.

The answer then is y=35x+35
