Question

Members of a movie rental club pays a minimum of $15 annual membership fee and $2 for new release movies. Nonmembers pay $3 for new release movies. Write a system of linear equations that represents this situation

Answer 1

The system of linear equations are

y = 15 + 2x

y = 3x

Explanation:

Let us assume that the number of new release movies be x.

Let us assume that the total cost be y.

As given

Members of a movie rental club pays a minimum of $15 annual membership fee and $2 for new release movies.

Than the equation becomes

y = 15 + 2x

As given

Nonmembers pay $3 for new release movies.

y = 3x

Therefore the system of linear equations are

y = 15 + 2x

y = 3x
