The total cost c (in dollars) to participate in a ski club is given by the literal equation c=85x+60, where x is the number of ski trips you take.
a. solve the equation for x.
x=
b. how many ski trips do you take if you spend a total of $315? $485?
ski trips costs $315.
ski trips costs $485.

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost C (in dollars) to participate in a ski club is given by the literal equation :

C=85x+60C=85x+60

Where x is the number of ski trips you take.

1. When C = 315 ;substituting the value of C in the above equation.

315=85x+60315=85x+60

=> 85x=315-6085x=315−60

=> 85x=25585x=255

x = 3 trips.

2. When C = 485

485=85x+60485=85x+60

=> 85x=485-6085x=485−60

=> 85x=42585x=425

x = 5 trips.

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17
