Ethan is saving money to buy a new bicycle. He already has $40 saved. Each week, he earns $8 for mowing his neighbor’s lawn. Which equation can be used to find y, the total amount of money Ethan will have saved after mowing the lawn x times?

• y = 40 + 8x

• y = 40x + 8

• y = 8x − 40

• y = 40x

Silas wrote an equation to model the total cost of his taxi ride.

- The base fare for the taxi ride is $2.55. - The taxi service charges $1.75 per mile. Which equation models Silas’s total cost in dollars, y, for a taxi ride that is x miles long?

• y = 2.55x – 1.75

• y = 2.55x + 1.75

• y = 1.75x – 2.55

• y = 1.75x + 2.55

Jeremiah is ordering custom water bottles for his basketball team. Each water bottle costs $12.75. The total cost of the order, y, is based on the number of bottles purchased, x, plus a one-time setup fee of $35 for customization. Which THREE statements are true about the relationship between x and y?

• The relationship between x and y is linear.

• The total cost can be represented by the equation y = 12.75x + 35.

• The constant rate of change in the cost per bottle is $12.75.

• The total cost decreases as more bottles are purchased.

• The total cost can be represented by the equation y = 12.75 + 35x
