Question

The volleyball team at West View High School is comparing T-shirt companies where they can purchase their
practice shirts. The two companies, Shirt Box and Just Tees, are represented by this system of equations where x is
the number of T-shirts and y is the total cost of the T-shirts
y = 10 5x
y = 7.5x + 30
How many T-shirts would the volleyball team need to purchase from each company for the total cost to be equal?
For the total cost to be the same for both companies, the volleyball team would need to purchase
T
shirts from each company for a total of $
for each company

Answer 1

The volleyball team would need to purchase 10 shirts for a total of $105 for the cost to be equal.

Answer 2

I’m just hoping that you meant to say 10.5x instead of 10 5x

you would do 10.5x = 7.5x + 30

subtract 7.5x from both sides to get 3x = 30
finish by dividing both sides by 3

your answer should be 10 T-Shirts which would cost $105 (because you sub x for 10)
