You are a member of your local movie theater’s club. Every time you see a movie at the theater, you earn 2 advantage points. When you earn 100 points, you get a free movie pass.
Currently, you have 40 advantage points.
Write an equation to model the number of movies m you have to watch before you earn a free movie pass.
Solve the equation. Show your work.
40+2m=100
40-40=0
100-40=60
60/2=30
Is it: 40 + 2m = 100?
the answer is 30
exactly, the subtract both sides by 40 and then divide both sides by two to get m=30
1.y=2m+40 y=number of points needed
2.100=2m+40
60=2m
m=30
Right.
It's suppose to be in algebra
I can see how some people think it is 60. But if you earn 2 advantage points every time you see a movie then you would divide 60 by 2.
If you think the answer is 60 then your wrong. It is 30.
Yall the answer is 30
40+2m = 100
2m=100−40 (subtract both sides from 40, 100 - 40 = 60)
2m=60 (now you DIVIDE both sides by 2)
m= 60/2
m=30, so the answer is 30 :)
