Question

This equation shows how the time required to screen-print a batch of shirts is related to the number of shirts in the batch.

t = s + 16
The variable s represents the number of shirts in the batch, and the variable t represents the time required to screen-print the shirts. If it takes 17 minutes to screen-print a batch of shirts, how many shirts are in the batch?

Answer 1

one

`t = s + 16`

`17 = s + 16`

`17 = 1 + 16`

Answer 2

we are given that

`t = s + 16`

This equation shows how the time required to screen-print a batch of shirts is related to the number of shirts in the batch.

Here

s represents the number of shirts.

t represents the time required to screen-print the shirts.

It takes 17 minutes to screen-print a batch of shirts.

we have been asked to find how many shirts are in the batch?

To find this we will substitute the value of t=17 and we will work out the value of S.

`17=s+16\\ \\ s=17-16\\ \\ s=1\\`

Hence there is one shirt in the batch.
