3. How many rides could Sam take before he runs out of money?


If anyone can help me with this that will be amazing. Thank you so much!

Answer 1

Answer:

• Given and explained below.

Explanation:

• Here y represents money left, x represents numbers of rides.

solve:

1.

y = 44 - 5 - 3x

y = 39 - 3x

2.

y = 39 - 3x

y = 39 - 3(5)

y = 39 - 15

y = 24

3.

y = 39 - 3x

0 = 39 - 3x

-39 = -3x

x = 13

He can total ride 13 rides before he runs out of money.
