IXL- 8th grade math W.14 A person can pay $11 for a membership to the art museum and then go to the museum for just $5 per visit. What is the maximum number of visits a member of the art museum can make for a total cost of $31?

Answer In the number of visits. (Step by step if you could please I’m doing this IXL having no idea how to do these)

4 visits.

Step-by-step explanation:

First make an equation to represent the cost of the museum stuff using the formula y=mx+b

y=5x+11 would be the formula because you pay a flat fee of $11 for the membership and $5 for each visit after (x represents visits, y represents total cost)

Now we need to figure out how many visits a bill of $31 would represent.

We plug in 31 for y because y represents the total cost.

31=5x+11

Now solve for x.

Subtract 11 from both sides: 20=5x

Divide each side by 5: 4=x

Since x=4, it means that a bill of $31 would represent four visits.
