Question

How to solve this?i can’t understand so can you explain

Answer 1

Answer:

a. Equation: 0.8x+30 = 1.2x+14

b. Solution: 40 Stickers

Step-by-step explanation:

"per sticker" means there will be a variable which will be how many stickers he buys next to the price and the fee is the amount of money that will be added onto the fee price.

Company A equation: 0.8x+30

Company B equation: 1.2x+14

You will set these equal to each other to find the number of stickers which cost the same for both companies, then solve for x by doing inverse operations.

0.8x+30 = 1.2x+14   [subtract 14 from both sides]

0.8x+16 = 1.2x          [subtract 0.8x from both sides]

16 = 0.4x                  [divide 0.4 from both sides]

x = 40                       [The solution is 40 stickers]
