Amazon charges a flat rate of $129 (yearly) for Amazon Prime and $7.99 for each HD movie rental. Youtube Red charges a flat rate of $144 (yearly) and $4.99 for each movie rental.
Write an equation to represent Youtube's charges. Explain how you got that equation.
I'm unsure how to exactly do this please explain :\
Amazon Prime = 129 + 7.99x , where x is the number of movies rented
Youtube Red = 144 + 4.99x

To write an equation to represent Youtube's charges, we can assign variables to represent the yearly fee and the movie rental cost. Let's use the variable "Y" to represent Youtube's yearly fee and "M" to represent the movie rental cost.
From the information given, we know that Youtube charges a flat rate of $144 (yearly) and $4.99 for each movie rental. Since the yearly fee is a flat rate, we can write it as:
Y = $144
For the movie rental cost, we use the variable "M" and multiply it by the number of movie rentals. In this case, since each movie rental costs $4.99, we can write it as:
M * number of movie rentals
So, the equation representing Youtube's charges is:
Total cost = Y + (M * number of movie rentals)
Now, this equation will give you the total cost based on the number of movie rentals made on Youtube. Remember to substitute the values accordingly when solving specific problems involving the equation.
