Answer:
Equation:- [tex]x + y = 38.50[/tex]
Solution of x:- [tex]x = 38.50 - y[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Total Purchase = $38.50
Required
Determine the equation for finding the cost of a bear
From the question; we understand that the cost of 1 bear is represented with x
Solving further; by representing the cost of 1 football uniform with y
So;
[tex]1\ bear + 1\ uniform = 38.50[/tex]
Substitute x for 1 bear and y for 1 uniform to give us an equation
[tex]x + y = 38.50[/tex]
Solving for x (Subtract y from both sides)
[tex]x +y - y = 38.50 - y[/tex]
[tex]x = 38.50 - y[/tex]
The equation can't be solved further
