Printer ink cartridges cost $26 each. The company that sells the ink cartridges charges a flat rate of $6.50, no matter how many ink cartridges you buy.
Write an algebraic expression that describes the total cost for a single order of x, cartridges.
HINT: Use the table to help you write the expression.
Total cost for a single order of x cartridges = (cost per cartridge * number of cartridges) + flat rate charge
Total cost for a single order of x cartridges = ($26 * x) + $6.50
Algebraic expression: C(x) = 26x + 6.50
