Parts of Algebraic Expressions Quick Check and Ashley went to the drive-in theaterThey paid an entry fee for the car and individual entry fees for themselvesTheir total cost can be modeled by the expression 2.5x + 10 Which of the following answer choices accurately interprets a part of the algebraic expression ? point)

1 answer

The expression \(2.5x + 10\) can be interpreted as follows:

  • The term \(10\) represents the fixed entry fee for the car (regardless of how many people are in the car).
  • The term \(2.5x\) represents the total cost of individual entry fees, where \(2.5\) is the individual entry fee per person and \(x\) is the number of people in the car.

So, a possible interpretation of a part of the expression could be:

  • The \(2.5x\) represents the total cost of entry fees for \(x\) individuals at $2.50 each.
