Giselle pays $190 in advance on her account at the athletic club. Each time she uses the club, $10 is deducted from the account. Model the situation with a linear function.

b = 180 + 10x

b = 180 – 10x

b = 190 – 10x

b = 190 + 10x

1 answer

To model Giselle's situation with a linear function, we can set up the function with b representing the balance in her account and x representing the number of times she uses the club.

She starts with $190 and each time she uses the club, $10 is deducted from her account. Therefore, the correct equation can be expressed as:

\[ b = 190 - 10x \]

This means her balance b decreases by $10 for each use x of the athletic club.

So among the options you've provided, the correct function is:

b = 190 - 10x.
