Question

Alexis has come up with the equation, f(x) = -2x + 20, to calculate how many bottles of lotion are left after assembling gift baskets. The variable x represents the number of gift baskets assembled and f(x) represents the number of bottles of lotion left. If 6 bottles of lotion are left, how many gift baskets were assembled?

➷ Substitute in the values:

6 = -2x + 20

Subtract 20 from both sides:

-14 = -2x

Divide both sides by -2

x = 7

7 gift baskets were assembled
