Question

a museum charges $8 for admission plus $5 for each special exhibit visited. write a linear equation for the total cost t for visiting x exhibits. how much would it cost to visit 3 exhibits?

Answer 1

Let x = number of special exhibits. The total cost t (in dollars) is
t = 8 + 5x.

For 3 exhibits:
t = 8 + 5(3) = 8 + 15 = 23.

So it would cost $23.
