The expression \(4.5x + 15\) can be interpreted in terms of costs associated with the drive-in theater visit:
- The term \(15\) likely represents a fixed entry fee for the car.
- The term \(4.5x\) represents the individual entry fees for Derrick and Maria, where \(x\) could represent the number of people attending, and \(4.5\) is the cost per person.
So to accurately interpret a part of the algebraic expression:
- **\(15\)** is the entry fee for the car.
- **\(4.5x\)** represents the total individual entry fees for Derrick and Maria combined, assuming \(x\) is the number of people (which would be 2, in their case).
