Math Problem Statement

Analyze and solve the math worksheet in the provided image, which involves linear equations modeling relationships between variables like money savings and lesson fees.

Solution

The image you provided appears to show a math worksheet with questions about equations and modeling relationships. Here's an analysis of the problems:

Question 5:

The savings equation is S=12m+40S = 12m + 40, where:

  • SS represents the amount of money saved.
  • mm represents the number of months.

You need to calculate values based on this equation and fill in the table.

  1. When m=1m = 1: S=12(1)+40=12+40=52S = 12(1) + 40 = 12 + 40 = 52

  2. When m=2m = 2: S=12(2)+40=24+40=64S = 12(2) + 40 = 24 + 40 = 64

  3. When m=7m = 7: S=12(7)+40=84+40=124S = 12(7) + 40 = 84 + 40 = 124

The table is correctly completed with these values.


Question 6:

This is about modeling the relationship between the cost of piano lessons and the number of lessons using the equation y=50x+30y = 50x + 30, where:

  • xx represents the number of lessons.
  • yy represents the total cost.
  1. When x=2x = 2: y=50(2)+30=100+30=130y = 50(2) + 30 = 100 + 30 = 130

  2. When x=3x = 3: y=50(3)+30=150+30=180y = 50(3) + 30 = 150 + 30 = 180

  3. When x=4x = 4: y=50(4)+30=200+30=230y = 50(4) + 30 = 200 + 30 = 230

The values are correctly calculated and matched with the table.


Would you like me to elaborate further on the problem-solving process? Here are some questions to deepen your understanding:

  1. How can you graph these relationships and what do the slopes represent?
  2. What is the significance of the +40+40 or +30+30 in these equations?
  3. Could you derive these equations if only the table values were provided?
  4. How would the equations change if the rates ($12/month or $50/lesson) were adjusted?
  5. Can you think of a real-world example where this type of linear equation applies?

Tip: Always identify what each variable represents and check units when working with equations!
