Answer 1

Answer:

3. The number of weeks and the total cost increase, but the sign-up fee stays the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given an equation $c = 12w + 20$ and we are asked to find true statement about this equation.

Upon looking at our equation we can see that sign up fee $20 is constant and it will not be affected by number of weeks. Sign up fee will remain same for any number of weeks of video streaming service.

Total amount depends on number of months. As months will increase or decrease total amount will increase or decrease respectively as well.

Now let us see what will happen when w will increase. When w will increase total cost will increase but sign up fee will remain same.

Upon looking at our options we can see that 3rd statement is our answer.
