Question

Teo makes a necklace of x wooden beads at $0.50 each and 6 glass beads at $1.25 each. The average cost of the beads in the necklace is $0.75. Write an equation to model the situation.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.50x + 7.50 = 0.75(x+6)

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

The equation to model the situation of x is (0.5x + 7.5) = 0.75(x + 6)

What is the equation?

The equation is the defined as mathematical statements that have a minimum of two terms containing variables or numbers is equal.

Given data as :

There are x wooden beads at $0.50 each necklace.

There are 6 glass beads at $1.25 each necklace.

Since the cost of the beads in a necklace is addition of wooden beads and glass beads.

So, 0.50x + 6*1.25 = 0.5x + 7.5 dollars

There are (x+6) beads.

Consider that the beads usually cost $0.75 each

(0.5x + 7.5)/(x+6) = 0.75

0.5x + 7.5 =  0.75(x+6)

0.5x + 7.5 = 0.75x + 4.5

7.5 - 4.5 = 0.75x - 0.5x

3 = 0.25x  or

0.25x = 3

x = 3/0.25

x = 12

Hence, the equation to model the situation of x is (0.5x + 7.5) = 0.75(x + 6)
