Question

Haley is at the store buying some supplies for an art project. She decides to buy some colored pencils for $3.95 and a drawing tablet. The total cost of the supplies before sales tax is $6.94.

Which equation could not be used to find the cost of the drawing tablet?

$3.95 + x = $6.94
$6.94 + x = $3.95
x = $6.94 - $3.95
$6.94 - x = $3.95

Answer 1

could you help me?

Answer 2

The colored pencils (3.95) + the drawing tablet (x) has to be equal to 6.94. What equation is this?

Answer 3

3.95+x=6.94?

Answer 4

Correct, that one CAN be used, now you can rewrite that equation to get 2 other equations. This leaves you with 1 there CANT be used.

Answer 5

Try and rewrite that equation into something else

Answer 6

6.94+x=3.95 would work, right?

Answer 7

No

Answer 8

That is the one there doesnt work.

Answer 9

so that is the answer then. thanks.

Answer 10

:D

Answer 11

(which is the answer to this question). The 2 others works, we have:\[3.95+x=6.94\] Now we can subtract with x on both sides: \[3.95=6.95-x\] But we could also subtract with 3.95 \[x=6.94-3.95\]

Answer 12

So yea, that is the answer

Answer 13

ok thanks.
