There are 9 students in a service club. The club is making gift baskets for children in a hospital. Each club member donated 4 c
hildren's books for the baskets. Each club member also donated an equal number of toys. A total of 63 items were collected for the baskets. Which linear equation can you use to find how many toys each club member donated
Let x represent the number of toys that each club member donated.
There are 9 students in a service club.
If each club member donated 4 children's books for the baskets, it means that the total number of books donated by the club members would be
9 × 4 = 36
If each club member also donated an equal number of toys. It means that the total number of toys donated by the club members would be
9 × x = 9x
A total of 63 items were collected for the baskets. Therefore, the linear equation that you can use to find how many toys each club member donated would be
Multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator. Multiply x x by 1 1 . Since g(f(x))=x g ( f ( x ) ) = x , f−1(x)=1x f - 1 ( x ) = 1 x is the inverse of f(x)=1x f ( x ) = 1 x .
