Question

Using the algebraic expression 6p + 5 = c. Where p represents packs of cards and c represents cost. Solve for the number of packs of cards if the cost was $47.00 *

Answer 1

Answer: 7 packs of cards

Step-by-step explanation:

the best way to start is by writing down everything we know

p = packs of cards; c = cost

6p + 5 = c

cost (c) = $47

then plug in what you can

6p + 5 = 47

now solve using PEMDAS and properties of equality

6p + 5 = 47

      -5    -5    (do the opposite operation to cancel it out)

      6p = 42

       /6     /6   (make sure you do everything to both sides of the equation)

        p = 7

hope this helped!
