Question

Samantha has $48 to spend on used video games. Single player games cost $6 each and multi player games cost $12 each. What equation, in standard form, determines the number of single player games (x) and the number of multi player games (y) Samantha can buy?

Answer 1

Answer:

The equation is

6x + 12y = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form another way of writing a linear equation. It is in the form

Ax + By = C

Total amount with Samantha = $48

Single player games = $6 each

Multi player games = $12 each

Let

Number of Single player games = x

Number of Multi player games = y

The number of single player games (x) and the number of multi player games (y) Samantha can buy is

6x + 12y = 48

That is price × quantity of single player games + price × quantity of multi player games = Total amount with Samantha
