You are given a $30 iTunes gift card for your birthday. Each song on iTunes costs $2.
y = 30 - 2x
y = 30x - 2
y = 2x + 30
y = 2x - 30

y = 450
y = 450x
y = 450x + 1
The electricity and gas bill is at a fixed rate for a 3-bedroom house. The bill is $125 per month.
y = 125x
y = 125x + 3
y = 3x + 125
An apartment requires a $350 security deposit (flat fee) and 850 per month.
y = 850x - 350
y = 350x - 850
y = 350x + 850
y = 350 + 850x
A phone at Verizon Wireless costs $200 plus $45 per month.
y = 200 + 45x
y = 45x - 200

y = 200 - 45x
Renting a U-Haul to move from Orland Park to Tinley Park costs $60 for the day plus $2 per mile.

y = 62x
The water from a bathtub start at 85 gallons and drains at a rate of 9 gallons per minute.
y = 85 + 9x
y = 85 - 9x

y = 85x - 9
you received $1250 in graduation money, but you're spending it at a rate of $15 every day.
y = 1250 + 15x
y = -15x + 1250

y = 15 - 1250x
A skydiver rides in a plane up to 7,000 feet, then jumps out and free falls at a rate of 55 feet per second.
y = 7000 - 55x
y = 7000 + 55x
y = 55x - 7000
y = 55 - 7000x
The temperature started out at 45 degrees Fahrenheit, but overnight it fell at a rate of 3 degrees F per hour until it reached 0 degrees F.
y = -3x + 0
