Answer 1

Answer: 6x + 15 = 55

Explanation:

Let x be the number of gloves Alyssa buys. The cost of gloves is $6 each, so the total cost of gloves is 6x. The cost of 3 hats is 3 * $5 = $15. The total cost of Alyssa's purchases is $55. We can write an equation to represent this situation being 6x + 15 = 55
