Question

S

You have $18 to spend on lip balm and hand sanitizer. The equation 1.5x + 2.5y = 18 represents this situation, where x is tubes of
lip balm and y is bottles of hand sanitizer. How many tubes of lip balm can you buy when you do not buy any bottles of hand
sanitizer?

Answer 1

(1.5×5) + (2.5×4)

Explanation:

if 1.5 + 2.5 is 4.0, and you have $18 and you would see how many times 4 can go into 18 (18÷4) which has four times then you have $2 left so you can get another lip balm so x equals 5 and Y equals 4. I hope this helps! :D
