Question

Write an algebraic expression that represents each purchase.

a. Mr.tonkery bought x number of soccer balls and 3 base balls
b. Dennis,Eddie,and Felix are on a base ball team. They each bought a baseball and x pair of sweat socks.

Soccer balls = $15 each
Baseballs=$6 each
Sweat socks =$5 per pair

Answer 1

Answer: Both answers will be

`15x+18`

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Cost of soccer balls = $15

Cost of baseball = $6

Cost of sweat socks = $5

a) Mr. Tonkery bought x number of soccer balls and 3 base balls .

So, our algebraic expression will be

`15x+3* 6\\\\=15x+18`

b) Dennis, Eddie and Felix are on a base ball team. They each bought a baseball and x pair of sweat socks .

Since there are 3 members in a base ball team ,

Number of base ball they will purchase is given by

`3* 6=18`

Number of sweat socks they will bought is given by

`5* x* 3=15x`

Total number they will purchase is given by

`15x+18`

Hence, both answers will be

`15x+18`
