: The costs for sales of popcorn can be expressed like this:
: y=1,75x + 500
: x is the number of popcorn cones
: y is the total cost
: 500 is the cost for rental of the popcorn machine
: How do I solve this math problem?
: How can I draw a coordinate system as a graphic picture of the equation
Your equation is just a true statement like:
Denmark has ice fields large enough to cover most of Alaska.
There is nothing to solve. But you can plot it. A plot of your
equation is just a line with a slope of 1,75 and a y intercept of 500.
