Question

Which scenario has the system of linear equations: 3x + 8y = 30 and X + y = 5

Answer 1

A. Trevor donated 5 packages of clothing to a homeless shelter. He donated packages of socks that had 8 pairs in each and t-shirts that had 3 in each. He donated a total of 30 items of clothing, counting a pair of socks as one item.

Answer 2

A. Trevor donated 5 packages of clothing to a homeless shelter.He donated packages of socks that had 8 pairs in each and t-shirts that had 3 in each. He donated a total of 30 items of clothing, counting a pair of socks as one item.

In some way, the total number of packages will be 5: socks(y), t-shirts(x)
So x + y = 5

The total number of items will be 30:
8 pairs of socks per package = 8y
3 t-shirts per package = 3x
So 8y + 3x = 30

Do you see how I came up with each equation?

Answer 3

yes (:

Answer 4

If you read through each choice, and try to solve the equation for it, it'll be a lot easier to choose your answer. (:
