Question

Choose the correct equation to represent the problem and solve. apollo purchased a four pack of 50-watt light bulbs. he then bought eight more value packs of 75-watt bulbs. how many bulbs were in each value pack if apollo had 66 good bulbs left after two broke on the way home?

a. 66 = (4 + 8)v - 2; 5 bulbs
b. 66 = 2 - (4 + 8)v; 5 bulbs
c. 66 = 2 - (4 + 8v); 8 bulbs
d. 66 = 4 + 8v - 2; 8 bulbs

Answer 1

66 = 4 + 8v - 2 <== ur equation
66 = 2 + 8v
66 - 2 = 8v
64 = 8v
64/8 = v
8 = v <=== there are 8 bulbs in each value pack
