Carter bought a bear and paid for a football uniform. The total cost was $38.50. Write and solve an equation to find the cost, x, of buying a bear.

Equation:-  

Solution of x:-  

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;

Substitute x for 1 bear and y for 1 uniform to give us an equation

Solving for x (Subtract y from both sides)

The equation can't be solved further

b. would be the answer : )

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: add -16x to both sides.

16x−4y+−16x=64+−16x  

−4y=−16x+64

step 2: divide both sides by -4.

−4y /-4 = -16x + 64/-4

answer:   y=4x−16

hope i'm right
