Answer 1

Answer:

A) You'd spent $228.5 on cable after 6 months

B) 10 months

Step-by-step explanation:

For A)

Since x represents the number of months "you" spend on cable, "6 months" would means x = 6. So plug x = 6 into the function and you get:

C(6) = 29(6) + 54.5

C(6) = 228.5

Add the dollar sign and you're good! :)

For B)

C(x) is the total cost you have to pay for cable after (x) months. Since the question gives you 344.50, you can just plug that in place of C(x) in the function

So:

C(x) = 29x + 54.5

344.5 = 29x + 54.5

(344.5 - 54.5) = 29x

290 = 29x

x = 10 (months)
