Meggane and her family went to a fair. Meggane spent 1/2
of her money on rides. She then spent $3.00 on snacks. At the end of the day, Meggane had $2.00 remaining. The equation
1/2 d – 3 = 2 represents this situation. How much money did Meggane bring to the fair?
If you solve for y, the relationship is y = -x + 20. Since the equation isin the form y = mx + b with m = -1 and b = 20, the equation is linear. It is not proportional because b ≠ 0.
