15x = 1.39
15 + x = 1.39
1.39x = 15
1.39 + x = 15

Answer 2

Mercedes can download new songs for $1.39 each. Write an equation to show how many songs she can download for $15.00.

15x = 1.39

15 + x = 1.39

1.39x = 15

1.39 + x = 15

Explanation:

The equation is the following:

1.39x = 15

15 $ is what you have to download the songs, and each unit is 1.39 $, by clearing the X of the equation, it is 15 / 1.39, and the result is the number of songs that Mercedes can download.
