Answer:

The equation that represent the given situation is
150=5x+10

The amount that Eliza spent was $28

Explanation:

The correct question is

Jade and Eliza went shopping at a mall. Jade spent $10 more than 5 times the amount that Eliza spent. Jade spent a total of $150.With equation represents a given situation and what was the amount that Eliza spent

Let

x ---> the amount that Eliza spent

y ---> the amount that Jade spent

we know that


y=5x+10 ----> equation A


y=150 ---> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A


150=5x+10 ---> equation that represent the given situation

Solve for x

subtract 10 both sides


5x=150-10


5x=140

divide by 5 both sides


x=28

therefore

The amount that Eliza spent was $28
