One admission to an ice skating rink costs x dollars, and renting a pair of ice skates costs y dollars. Your friend says she can determine the exact cost of one admission and one skate rental. Is your friend correct

The true statement is that your friend's claim is correct

The question is an illustration of a linear function; a linear function is a function that has a constant rate/slope

A linear function is represented as:

The costs are given as:

So, the cost of one admission and one skate rental is:

Hence, your friend's claim is correct

step-by-step explanation:

answer: integers are just whole numbers: positive, negative, and zero.

i = {-∞, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ∞}

let x = 1st integer

let y = 2nd integer

x = 3y + 17   {equation 1}

xy = -24         {equation 2}

substitute 3y+17 in place of x n equation 2

and solve for y.

(3y+17)y = -24

3y2 + 17y = -24

3y2 + 17y + 24 = 0

from quadratic equation:

y = [-17±√(172-4(3)(24))]/(2(3))

y = (-17 ±√1)/6

y = (-17+1)/6   or     y = (-17-1)/6

y = -16/6           or     y = -18/6

y = -2 2/3         or   y = -3

since we are dealing with

y = -3

x = 3y+17 = -9+17 = 8

the integers are -3, 8
