A hot air balloon company charges for evening sunset flights that are based on the function y = 25x + 100, where x is the number of people traveling in the basket (note the basket capacity limit is 8) and y is the cost of the trip in dollars. What is the base fee for the balloon ride before passengers are figured in? What does the 25 represent? What is the cost for 5 people to fly?

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116

i think the amount would be $140.62

answer: translate the circles so they share a common center point and dilate circle y by a scale factor of 3.
