Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, after reading this problem, let’s highlight some key points. Each sweater costs $25, we can write that down as 25x because will represent the amount of sweaters we buy. But we have a shipping fee of $7, so we will +7 to our highlights. And the total money spent was $132.

So far, we have: 25x + 7 = 132

Let’s subtract the 7 from the 132. Now we have: 25x = 125

Then we can divide by 25 on each side, and get x by itself.

X = 5 sweaters.

BONUS: Let’s replace 5 for our x to prove our answer

25(5) + 7 = 132 >>> 125 + 7 = 132 >>> 132 = 132 :D

There you go!! We buy 5 sweaters from American Eagle..!
