I need help ASAP❗️❗️❗️

You have $6 to spend on a lip balm and hand sanitizer the equation 1.5x+2.5y=6 represents this situation where x is tides of lip balm and y is bottles of hand sanitizer how many tubes of lip balm can u buy when u do not buy any bottles of hand sanitizer

Answer 1

4 tubes of lip balm

Explanation:

Since y represents the number of bottles of hand sanitizer and you buy none, you plug in zero into y.

1.5x+2.5(0)=6

1.5x+0=6

1.5x=6

1.5x/1.5= 6/1.5

x, or tubes of lip balm= 4
