Question

You go to the store and buy some vegetables. carrots are $2 per bag and celery is $1.50 per bag. you spend $10. write a linear equation

Answer 1

Let x be the number of bags of carrots.
Let y by the number of bags of celery.

The cost of buying x bags of carrots is 2x.
The cost of buying y bags of celery is 1.5y.

It's given that 10 dollars were spent.

That means that the total cost was 10.

Using this information, we can create the following linear equation:


`2x+1.5y=10`

Have an awesome day! :)
