Question

Baseball Express charges $25 for a pair of batting gloves, $35 for a dozen baseballs, and $15 for armbands. The total cost spent, t, can be described by t=25g+35b+15a. In April, Coach Kelly got a bill from Baseball Express for $385. He bought 8 dozen baseballs, and 2 armbands. If he wants to figure out how many pairs of batting gloves he bought, which variable should he solve for? Solve the equation to see how many batting gloves Coach Kelly bought

Answer 1

Answer: 3 Batting gloves

Step-by-step explanation:

It cost $25 for a pair of batting gloves, $35 for a dozen baseballs, and $15 for armbands.

He bough 8 dozen baseballs so you'd multiply 8x35, which is $280

He bought 2 armbands so you'd multiply 2x15, which is $30

Then, add those two together, $280+$30, which is $310

He spent 385 in all, so subtract $385-$310

Each glove costs $25 so divide 75/25 to get 3.

Answer 2

he should solve for g g=3

Explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

25x+(35)(8)+(15)(2)=385

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

25x+(35)(8)+(15)(2)=385

25x+280+30=385

(25x)+(280+30)=385(Combine Like Terms)

25x+310=385

25x+310=385

Step 2: Subtract 310 from both sides.

25x+310−310=385−310

25x=75

Step 3: Divide both sides by 25.

25x
