Answer 1

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
