The function c(x) = 18x -10 represents the cost in dollars. How many tickets can you buy?

Note: It seems you may have unintentionally missed writing the complete question. As total cost is missing.

So, I am assuming how many tickets Mr. XYZ can buy if he/she pays 530 dollars.

The solution would still clear your concept though.

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function

c(x) = 18x -10

The slope-intercept form of the line equation

We know that the slope-intercept form of the line equation

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

so

 c(x) = 18x - 10

comparing with the slope-intercept form of the line equation

Assuming the total cost i.e. c(x) = $530

In order to determine the value of x, set c(x) = 530

i.e.

530 = 18x -10

switch sides

18x - 10 = 530

add 10 to both sides

18x - 10 + 10 = 530 + 10

18x = 540

Divide 18 to both sides

18x/18 = 540/18

x = 30

Therefore, if you can buy x = 30 tickets if you pay 530 dollars.
