Question

Write an algebraic expression that represents each purchase.

Answer 1

Answer: Both answers will be

$15x+18$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Cost of soccer balls = $15

Cost of baseball = $6

Cost of sweat socks = $5

a) Mr. Tonkery bought x number of soccer balls and 3 base balls .

So, our algebraic expression will be

$15x+3\times 6\\\\=15x+18$

b) Dennis, Eddie and Felix are on a base ball team. They each bought a baseball and x pair of sweat socks .

Since there are 3 members in a base ball team ,

Number of base ball they will purchase is given by

$3\times 6=18$

Number of sweat socks they will bought is given by

$5\times x\times 3=15x$

Total number they will purchase is given by

$15x+18$

Hence, both answers will be

$15x+18$
