how do i respond to ''Say that you are hungry and want to order from Uber eats. You ordered a box of tacos for $12. The delivery person charges you a delivery fee of $3. This problem would be y=12x+3. Y would represent the cost of the box of tacos and x represents the amount of tacos. So if you decided to double that order then the equation would change to y=24x+3, the delivery fee would be the same because it was all one order, but if you did two separate orders then it would become $6.''

I would respond with, "That's interesting to think about! So if I decided to double my order of tacos to 24, the total cost equation would be y=24x+3, with the delivery fee remaining the same. But if I placed two separate orders of 12 tacos each, the total delivery fee would increase to $6."
