Ok so im now learning y=mx+b word problems and most of my answers are straight forward, the problem is i dont know whats right or wrong heres what im dealing with:
an attorney named teags charges a fixed fee on 250 for an initial meeting and 150 per hour for all hours worked after that. write an equation in slope-intercept form. find the charge for 26 hours of work.
and the answer i got was 26=x i really dont think that sounds right but any would be !

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
