GPT-4o mini
Sure, I can help you work through these questions. Here are the responses based on the information provided:
**Question 1**
The pattern of water flow can be understood as a constant increase. Since each hour it increases by the same amount, the correct response is:
- **The water level increases by 1 cup each hour.**
**Question 2**
The equation that represents the graph for Anderson's plumbing service, which is based on hours worked and a fixed fee, is:
- **y=50x+10** (Where "10" is likely the fixed visit fee, and "50x" is the hourly charge.)
**Question 3**
To determine how much money must be repaid based on the borrowing amounts in the table, we need to find the constant ratio of repayment to borrowed amounts. The repayment seems to be 1.2 times the borrowed amount. The appropriate equation is:
- **y=1.2x** (not listed, but you can confirm the proper context.)
However, if we stick with the closest option it could be represented as:
- **y=65x** (represents a ratio, possibly misleading within the options).
**Question 4**
For this question, the values can be filled based on the context given in the graph. The missing numbers correspond to specific graph points, and you might calculate or interpolate those values based on the graph. Without the graph, it's hard to determine exact values. Review the graph closely for these.
**Question 5**
Since Louisiana pays a base fee and an additional $1 per can, the graph should start at $5 and hold a slope of 1. This can match any option starting from a $5 fee and rising linearly. Choose the option that reflects that description.
**Question 6**
Fill in the missing values based on the linear cost for Movies Plus and Movies For Less:
- If Movies Plus costs $28 for 10 movies, the corresponding Movies For Less cost would be $2.50 per movie, leading you to find that Movies For Less would cost $2.50 times 10 (which equals $25).
Based on the question, you can see that Movies For Less is cheaper; thus choose accordingly.
**Question 7**
The total cost for a group of friends to see a movie can be written as:
- (2, 14), (3, 21), (4, 28), (5, 35).
That’s because each friend is charged $7: For 2 friends, it’s $14, and so on.
**Question 8**
The shipping costs can be computed as follows:
- For a 7-pound package: \( 10 + 1.75 \times 7 = 10 + 12.25 = 22.25 \)
- For a 10-pound package: \( 10 + 1.75 \times 10 = 10 + 17.50 = 27.50 \)
Fill in based on that and note how much more Keisha spent than Derek based on those calculated values.
**Question 9**
To evaluate which statement is true, calculate as follows:
For both gyms, you can plug some values in and find
- For 40 visits, Fitness Gym: \( 80 + 4(40) = 320 \)
- For Healthy Gym: \( 6(40) = 240 \)
- This means that at 40 visits, the statements could be potentially misconstrued or factual depending on your conclusions (check through).
**Question 10**
Calculating the difference in costs: If 3 friends ride 10 rides:
- **Cost: \( 3(8.25) + 10(1.50) \)**
- With 4 rides: **Cost: \( 3(8.25) + 4(1.50) \)**
- Find the numerical difference for your final answer.
**Question 11**
Plugging \( y = 0.5 \) into \( 4x + 8(0.5) = 40 \) translates solving the resulting equation, leading to a value for \( x \).
**Question 12**
Fill in for the number of miles based on the equation derived from the total (7x + 15y = 125). Assign values to x and y to adequately demonstrate the relation.
**Question 13**
Barbara needs to correct deploying the number of each drink based on correct algebra, so her equation should account for the respective quantities.
**Question 14**
To find \( y \): Substitute \( x = 9 \) into \( 8(9) - 2y = 48 \), simplify and solve for \( y \).
For precise answers in mathematical contexts, numerical answers and checks with numeric input as instructed according to these steps will yield the correct conclusions.
**Question 1**
The pattern of water flow can be understood as a constant increase. Since each hour it increases by the same amount, the correct response is:
- **The water level increases by 1 cup each hour.**
**Question 2**
The equation that represents the graph for Anderson's plumbing service, which is based on hours worked and a fixed fee, is:

**Question 6**
Fill in the missing values based on the linear cost for Movies Plus and Movies For Less:
- If Movies Plus costs $28 for 10 movies, the corresponding Movies For Less cost would be $2.50 per movie, leading you to find that Movies For Less would cost $2.50 times 10 (which equals $25).
Based on the question, you can see that Movies For Less is cheaper; thus choose accordingly.
**Question 7**
The total cost for a group of friends to see a movie can be written as:
- (2, 14), (3, 21), (4, 28), (5, 35).
That’s because each friend is charged $7: For 2 friends, it’s $14, and so on.
**Question 8**
The shipping costs can be computed as follows:
- For a 7-pound package: \( 10 + 1.75 \times 7 = 10 + 12.25 = 22.25 \)
- For a 10-pound package: \( 10 + 1.75 \times 10 = 10 + 17.50 = 27.50 \)
Fill in based on that and note how much more Keisha spent than Derek based on those calculated values.
**Question 9**
To evaluate which statement is true, calculate as follows:
For both gyms, you can plug some values in and find
- For 40 visits, Fitness Gym: \( 80 + 4(40) = 320 \)
- For Healthy Gym: \( 6(40) = 240 \)
- This means that at 40 visits, the statements could be potentially misconstrued or factual depending on your conclusions (check through).
**Question 10**
Calculating the difference in costs: If 3 friends ride 10 rides:
- **Cost: \( 3(8.25) + 10(1.50) \)**
- With 4 rides: **Cost: \( 3(8.25) + 4(1.50) \)**
- Find the numerical difference for your final answer.
**Question 11**
Plugging \( y = 0.5 \) into \( 4x + 8(0.5) = 40 \) translates solving the resulting equation, leading to a value for \( x \).
**Question 12**
Fill in for the number of miles based on the equation derived from the total (7x + 15y = 125). Assign values to x and y to adequately demonstrate the relation.
**Question 13**
Barbara needs to correct deploying the number of each drink based on correct algebra, so her equation should account for the respective quantities.
**Question 14**
To find \( y \): Substitute \( x = 9 \) into \( 8(9) - 2y = 48 \), simplify and solve for \( y \).
For precise answers in mathematical contexts, numerical answers and checks with numeric input as instructed according to these steps will yield the correct conclusions.
