Answer:

In the expression [tex]\dfrac{60 \cdot x}{x + 3} -10[/tex] what the constant term -10 represents is;

A. The constant -10 represents the cost of setting up the food stall even if no cheeseburgers were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

Whereby the expression is as given in a similar question which is presented as follows;

[tex]\dfrac{60 \cdot x}{x + 3} -10[/tex]

Where the expression represents the total money earned when a food stall is set up at a fair where 'x' stands for the number of cheeseburgers sold

Then when no cheeseburger were sold, x = 0, such at the start just after setting up the food stall, we then have;

[tex]\dfrac{60 \times 0}{0 + 3} -10 = -10[/tex]

Therefore, the money earned at the start = -10

∴ The money spent at the start = 10

Therefore, the constant -10 represents the cost of setting up the food stall even if no cheeseburgers were sold.
