Question

A company charges a flat fee for shipping for items ordered online. This relationship can be represented by the equation y equals x plus 5.50, where x represents the cost of the items ordered and y represents the total cost including shipping.

Answer 1

To find the values of \( y \) based on the equation \( y = x + 5.50 \), we can substitute the values of \( x \) provided in each case and calculate \( y \).

1. For \( x = 1.50 \):
\[
y = 1.50 + 5.50 = 7.00
\]
So, fill space 1:
**X=1.50, Y=7.00**

2. For \( x = 2.00 \):
\[
y = 2.00 + 5.50 = 7.50
\]
So, fill space 2:
**X=2.00, Y=7.50**

3. For \( y = 8.50 \):
Solve for \( x \):
\[
8.50 = x + 5.50 \implies x = 8.50 - 5.50 = 3.00
\]
So, fill space 3:
**X=3.00, Y=8.50**

4. For \( x = 5.00 \):
\[
y = 5.00 + 5.50 = 10.50
\]
So, fill space 4:
**X=5.00, Y=10.50**

5. For \( y = 15.50 \):
Solve for \( x \):
\[
15.50 = x + 5.50 \implies x = 15.50 - 5.50 = 10.00
\]
So, fill space 5:
**X=10.00, Y=15.50**

Now, let’s put all the entries clearly:

1. **X=1.50, Y=7.00**
2. **X=2.00, Y=7.50**
3. **X=3.00, Y=8.50**
4. **X=5.00, Y=10.50**
5. **X=10.00, Y=15.50**
