17. A rock-climbing gym called Rock-and-Roll charges $2.75 to rent shoes, and $3 per hour to climb. A competing gym, Climb the Walls, charges
$4.25 to rent shoes, and $2.50 per hour to climb.
a. Write an equation that gives the cost y of renting shoes and climbing
for x hours at Rock-and-Roll.
b. Write an equation that gives the cost y of renting shoes and climbing
for x hours at Climb the Walls.
c. Solve the system of the two equations you wrote in parts a and b using
any method. Why did you choose the solution method you did?
d. What does your solution to the system represent in the context of the
problem?

c 1 hour

step-by-step explanation:

m = 2e

m = 2 so 2 = 2e

1 = e

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have

y-3=-3/2(x+4)

ur very much welcome
