Question

HELPPP PLZ Write a real-world problem you could answer by solving the equation -8 x + 60= 28

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

How many times must you step back 8 inches after stepping forward 60 inches to end 28 inches from your starting point?

Answer 2

x = number of items that cost $8 per piece

if you buy x of these items for 8 dollars each, then 8*x represents how much you've spent so far. If you start off with $60, then 60-8x = -8x+60 is the total amount of money leftover in your pocket.

If you start off with $60 and end up with $28, then -8x+60 = 28 is the equation that models this. Solving for x leads to finding out how many of these items you have purchased. In this case, the solution is x = 5.
