we have to translate the following phrases into an algebraic expression using the variable x to represent the cost of the reel.
<u>The</u><u> </u><u>phrase</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u>
<em>The cost of purchasing a fishing rod and reel if the rod costs $5 less than twice the cost of the reel</em>
<em> </em>let the cost of rell is <em>X</em>
Rod= $5 less than twice the cost of the reel
COST OF ROD AND REEL
Answer:
2x-5 + x
Step-by-step explanation:
x = cost of the reel
rod costs 2 times the reel minus 5
rod = 2x-5
We want the cost of the rod and reel
cost = rod + reel
= 2x-5 + x
