For John's roof repair business, he buys a truck for $30,000. If each roof he fixes earns him $3,000, we can model his profit by this equation: y = 3000x - 30000. How many jobs will it take for him to pay off his truck? (Hint: Set y equal to zero and solve for x)
(a)
To go to the carnival, you pay $6 to get in, and $2 per ride, as shown by this equation: y = 2x + 6. If you only have $30 to spend, how many rides can you go on? (Hint: set y equal to 30, and solve for x)
