Three guests were staying at a hotel. Combined, their room was $42 dollars. Later, the manger realized the room should have only been $37, so she gave the clerk $5 to return to the group. Realizing $5 dollars could not be disburssed evenly amongst them, the clerk kept $2 and gave $1 back to each guest. Induvidually the guests spent $13 for the room ($39 total) and the clerk has $2, which totals to $41. Where is the missing dollar?

Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
