Answer:
<u>Equation:</u>
<u>250 + 132.5y = x</u>
<u>Solution for solving for x:</u>
<u>x = 250 + 132.5y</u>
<u>Solution for solving for y:</u>
<u>y = (x - 250)/132.5</u>
<u>In this situation, the solutions mean that the equation is linear or first grade because the solutions can be calculated in any of the following four forms:</u>
<u>1. Adding the same number to both sides</u>
<u>2. Subtracting the same number from both sides </u>
<u>3. Multiplying both sides by the same number
</u>
<u>4. Dividing both sides by the same number</u>
Completing the question and statement correctly:
The equation represents the relationship between the quantities in this situation, where x is the weight, in grams, of the filled box and y the number of shirts in the box.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review all the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:
Weight of an empty box = 250 grams
Weight of each T-shirt = 132.5 grams
2. Name two possible solutions to the equation that represent the relationship between the quantities in this situation, where x is the weight, in grams, of the filled box and y the number of shirts in the box. What do the solutions mean in this situation?
x = weight, in grams, of the filled box
y = number of shirts in the box
Equation:
250 + 132.5y = x
Solution for solving for x:
x = 250 + 132.5y
Solution for solving for y:
y = (x - 250)/132.5
In this situation, the solutions mean that the equation is linear or first grade because the solutions can be calculated in any of the following four forms:
1. Adding the same number to both sides
2. Subtracting the same number from both sides
3. Multiplying both sides by the same number
4. Dividing both sides by the same number
