Andy bought total of 5 pairs of shoes and soxes. He bought some pairs of shoes and some pairs of soxes.

Set the variabloes as follows:

X = number of pairs of shoes

Y = number of pais of soxes

Which equation shows the total number of shoes and soxes he bought?

2x + 5 y =7

2X + 3 Y = 5

X + Y = 5

7Y - 2x = 5x

Answer 1

The equation that shows the total number of shoes and soxes he bought is x+y=5.

Explanation:

Given that statement says that Andy bought total of 5 pairs of shoes and soxes this means that the equation would indicate that the sum of the number of pairs of shoes plus the number of pairs of soxes is equal to 5, which can be expressed as:

x+y=5

The other answers are not right because the numbers of pairs of shoes and soxes are multiplied by another number and the statement indicates that the pairs of shoes and soxes is equal to 5.
