Question

The equation 8x – 30 = y is used to find your profit in dollars, y, from buying $30 of art supplies and selling drawings for $8 each. What does the x stand for?

Answer 1

X stands for the number of drawings being sold

Explanation:

For example here you input 10 for x so lets say you sold 10 drawings

8(10)-30=y

80-30=y

50=y

y=profit
