Question

11. write an algebraic expression that represents each purchasea. doctor bean bought X number of soccer balls in for baseballs b. Nestor Felix Peter and hail are on a baseball team they each bought a baseball and X pairs of sweat socks 12. suppose X has the same value in both of the expressions your wrote for question 11. Are the two expressions he wrote for question 11 equivalent? explain.13. Maya says that soccer balls cost 1 4/7 times as much as baseballs costs. Do you agree? explain.Baseball: $7Sweat Socks: $3Soccer Ball: $12

Answer 1

Doctor bean bought = X soccer balls

Algebraic expression = X

Nestor Felix Peter and hail each bought a baseball and X pair of sweat socks

If X in both are the same, then the algebraic expression for (b)

= X + X + 2

= 2X + 2

The two expressions are not equivalent
