Question

Which of the following equations can be used to find the number of shirts (x) it would take for the cost to be the same for each store?

A) Store A: 5x + 10 = Store B: 3x + 20
B) Store A: 2x + 5 = Store B: 4x + 15
C) Store A: 3x + 8 = Store B: 2x + 12
D) Store A: 4x + 6 = Store B: 6x + 4

Answer 1

The correct equation to find the number of shirts is A) Store A: 5x + 10 = Store B: 3x + 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of shirts (x) it would take for the cost to be the same for each store, we need to set the equations for Store A and Store B equal to each other. Let's go through each option and simplify:

A) Store A: 5x + 10 = Store B: 3x + 20

5x + 10 = 3x + 20

2x = 10

x = 5

Therefore, option A) is the correct equation to find the number of shirts.
