the total amount of money nakeisha will spend if she goes on 1 ride.
how much it costs for a ticket to go on one of the rides.
the cost to get into the amusement park.

Explanation:

The equation $y = 1.5x + 14$ models total cost, where $x$ is the number of rides. When $x=1$, we substitute this value to find the total cost for 1 ride plus admission. The resulting $y$-value represents the total money spent for 1 ride.
