Question

You want to ship textbooks from Florida. The textbooks are $60 each plus $150 shipping. Let x represent the number of textbooks shipped and y the total cost

Answer 1

I am assuming the problem is asking you to find an equation repersenting the situation.

In this case, realize that 150 will be a constant, and 60 will be attached to the
`x` variable, since the price of the textbooks changes based on how many textbooks there are.

Thus, the equation is:

`60x + 150 = y`

Our answer is 60x + 150 = y.
