Question

At the pet store, 3 cans of Nutri-Cat food cost $6.

Write two equations for this situation. Explain how each equation represents this situation.

anonymous · Answer

Let one can be 'x'.
One of the equation is then $$3x=6$$

anonymous · Answer

With that equation, we can solve for x in order to find out how much does one can cost.

anonymous · Answer

I do not see the other equation...

anonymous · Answer

Umm ok  :/

anonymous · Answer

I think i know the other one @AwesomeSays3!

anonymous · Answer

Given that one can costs $2, then we can say that a can is represented by x and that according to the original formula of $$y=mx+c$$. 
Let y be the amount required to buy the product.
Then the equation shall be $$y=2x$$
