It cost $10 flat fee to rent a chain saw plus $2 a day starting with the first day. Let x represent the number of days rented so y represents the charge to the user (in dollars). Write an equation in the form y=mx+b that represents this situation. y=____
Added by Felicia G.
Step 1
The flat fee is $10, which is a constant value. This will be our "b" in the equation y = mx + b. Show more…

For each situation, (a) write an equation in the form $y=m x+b,(b)$ find and interpret the ordered pair associated with the equation for $x=5,$ and $(c)$ answer the question. There is a $\$ 30$ fee to rent a chain saw, plus $\$ 6$ per day. Let $x$ represent the number of days the saw is rented and $y$ represent the charge to the user in dollars. If the total charge is $\$ 138,$ for how many days is the saw rented?

A chain-saw rental firm charges $\$ 28$ per day or fraction of a day to rent a saw, plus a fixed fee of $\$ 8$ for re sharpening the blade. Let $S(x)$ represent the cost of renting a saw for $x$ days. Find the following. a. $S\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \qquad$ b. $S(1) \qquad$ c. $S\left(1 \frac{1}{4}\right)$ d. $S\left(3 \frac{1}{2}\right) \quad$ e. $S(4) \qquad$ f. $S\left(4 \frac{1}{10}\right)$
