Question

Fabric is sold by the yard. You are buying fabric to make a blanket and the first yard is $10 and each additional yard is $8. Write an expression to model this situation

Answer 1

8x + 10

Explanation:

Its 8x + 10 because its saying that the first yard is $10, and each additional yard is $8. To represent that, its already giving us the cost for the first yard, which is $10. And to represent each additional yard, we will use a variable combined with 8 which is 8x.

Hope this helped :)

Answer 2

the expression is 8x + 10
