Set up a system of equations:


\text{Total shirts bought}

x + y = 9


\text{Total cost}

10x + 7y = 72


x represents how many tee shirts were bought, and y represents how many long sleeve shirts were bought.


For the first equation, subtract y from both sides to get x by itself:


x = 9 - y


We'll now use substitution. Since x is equal to a value, we can substitute this value for the other equation:


10(9-y) + 7y = 72


Distribute the 10 to both terms in parentheses:


10 \times 9 = 90

10 \times -y = -10y


90 - 10y +7y = 72


Combine like terms:


-10y + 7y = -3y

90 - 3y = 72


Subtract 90 from both sides:


-3y = -18


Divide both sides by -3 to get y by itself:


y = 6


6 long sleeve shirts were bought.


Now you have a value for y. Input this value into the first equation:


x + 6 = 9


Subtract both sides by 6 to get x by itself:


x = 3


3 tee shirts were bought.


The answer is B. 3 tee shirts and 6 long sleeve shirts.

Let’s look at the combinations of shirts and see if they add up to 72.
A. 5*10=50,4*7= 24, 50+24=74 So, it can’t be A.
B. 3*10=30,6*7=42, 30+42=72. So, it can be B... but let’s check the others too!
C. 7*10=70, 2*7=14, 70+14=84. So, not C.
D. 4*10=40, 5*7=35, 40+35=75.
So, the answer is B. 3 T-shirts and 6 long sleeve shirts! Hope this helped!

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The second option,

b.) C(x)=40.60x+201

<h2>Why?</h2>

We are given the functions E(x) and K(x), since they both are function of the same variable, we need to add them in order to find the correct option.

From the statement we know the functions:

E(x)=22.75x+74

and

K(x)=17.85x+127

So, adding the functions we have:

C(x)=E(x)+F(x)

C(x)=(22.75x+74)+(17.85x+127)

C(x)=22.75x+17.85x+74+127

C(x)=40.60x+201

Hence, the answer is the second option,

b.) C(x)=40.60x+201

Have a nice day!

Write an equation that represents the following word problem.
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Both would work.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we call Jackie's apples a, then Mark has a - 4 apples. Therefore, together they have a + (a - 4) apples, and we know that they have a total of 12 apples so we can write a + (a - 4) = 12 to represent the situation. On the other hand, if Mark has a apples, then Jackie has a + 4 apples, so we can also write a + (a + 4) = 12 to represent the situation as well. Therefore, both of the equations would work. Hope this helps!
