The value of a baseball card in dollars has been found to be 0.15y + 0.35, where y is the number of years since it was released. By how much is the baseball card's value increasing per year?
A.
$0.15
B.
$0.35
C.
15%
D.
35%
To determine how much the baseball card's value is increasing per year, we need to find the coefficient of the y term in the given expression.
The expression for the baseball card's value is 0.15y + 0.35, where y is the number of years since it was released.

Charity is buying peaches at the store. The cost of the peaches are $1.30 per pound. If she has $6.50 to spend on peaches, how many pounds (x) can she buy?
Set up an equation to solve the problem.
A.
1.30x=6.50
B.
1.30+x=6.50
C.
1.30/6.50=x
D.
6.50x=1.30
The correct answer is A.
To set up an equation to solve the problem:
Let x be the number of pounds of peaches Charity can buy.
The cost of the peaches per pound is $1.30.
Charity has $6.50 to spend on peaches.
The equation can be set up as 1.30x = 6.50, where 1.30 represents the cost per pound and x represents the number of pounds she can buy.
