The cost in dollars, y, to participate x days in a bike tour is a linear function. Lin's bike tour is described by the equation y = 5x + 50. The cost of Max's bike tour is $120 for a 14-day bike tour. If both Lin and Max take 14-day tours, whose bike tour costs less? Lin Max They cost the same amount

Respuesta :

Answer:

They cost the same amount

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Lin: [tex]y = 5x +50[/tex] where x = 14

Max: [tex]\$120[/tex] for 14 days

Required

Which is less expensive?

Max charges has been given from the question as; $120 for 14 days.

To determine Lin's, we simply substitute 14 for x in [tex]y = 5x +50[/tex]

[tex]y = 5 * 14 + 50[/tex]

[tex]y = 70 + 50[/tex]

[tex]y =120[/tex]

The above result of y shows that Max charges for 14 days is also $120.

Hence, they (Lin and Max) cost the same because they both equal to $120 for 14 days
