Billie sue's bbq had their grand opening this year. the first month they did not turn a profit. however, each month thereafter, they have had steady profits of $1,500 per month. if x represents the number of months they have profited, which of the following equations represents the amount of profits after x months? a. y = 1,500x b. y = 1,500 - x c. y = 1,500x + x d. y = x + 1,500

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Since each year the profit is 1500, its a linear equation with slope 1500.

For 1 month of profit, the profit is 1500*1=1500

For 2 month of profit, the profit is 1500*2=3000

It goes on like this, so the pattern in "multiplying 1500 by x (where x represents the number of months they have profited)"

The first equation, option A, is correct,

y = 1500x

  answer:

  write 548 as 500 + 40 + 8. multiply each addend by 5. then add the three products to get 2,740.
