Five friends go scuba diving. They rent a boat for x days and scuba gear for y days. The total spent is $1000.
a) write an equation in standard form that represents the equation
b) interpret the intercepts
THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

250x + 50y = 1000
50(5x + y) = 1000
5x + y = 20
(4, 0) (0, 20)
if they don't rent scuba gear, they could rent the boat for 4 days
if they don't rent a boat, they could rent scuba gear for 20 days
50(5x + y) = 1000
5x + y = 20
(4, 0) (0, 20)
if they don't rent scuba gear, they could rent the boat for 4 days
if they don't rent a boat, they could rent scuba gear for 20 days

1000=250x+50y
subtract 250x
50y=1000-250x
divide by 50
y=20-5x
standard form= y=-5x+20
intercepts= 20
subtract 250x
50y=1000-250x
divide by 50
y=20-5x
standard form= y=-5x+20
intercepts= 20
