1 answer

To express the fact that a 16-line ad costs $86 as an ordered pair, we start with the equation for the cost of the advertisement:

\[ y = 4x + 22 \]

Here, \( x \) is the number of lines, and \( y \) is the total cost in dollars.

For a 16-line ad, we have \( x = 16 \). We can substitute this value into the equation to find \( y \):

\[ y = 4(16) + 22 \] \[ y = 64 + 22 \] \[ y = 86 \]

Now, we have the values of \( x \) and \( y \). Thus, the ordered pair representing the number of lines and the cost is:

\[ (16, 86) \]

So, the ordered pair is (16, 86).
