Question

Write the Linear equation in Standard form.. Each pair of Socks in store cost 75php, and each pair of gloves costs 50php. If you want to spend exactly 425php, write an equation in standard form modeling this situation. Let x represent the number of pairs of socks you buy, and y represent the number of pairs of gloves you buy.

Answer 1

An equation in standard form modeling this situation is:

75x + 50x = 425

Explanation:

Let

x represent the number of pairs of socks you buy

y represent the number of pairs of gloves you buy

Each pair of Socks in store cost 75php, and each pair of gloves costs 50php. If you want to spend exactly 425php.

The equation is given as:

75php × x + 50php × y = 425php

= 75x + 50y = 425

Therefore,

the equation in standard form modeling this situation is:

75x + 50x = 425
