Question

a small car cost 3$. a large car costs5 time as much as the small one.joe want to buy one of each what equation would he use to find the cost of the two cars

Answer 1

Data:

Small car: S=3$

Large car: L=5S

The cost (c) of one of each car is:

$c=S+L$

as L=5S:

$c=S+5S$$c=6S$

As S=3$

$c=6(3)=18$

The, the equation to find the cost of the two cars​ is c=6S, where S is the cost of a small car. And the cost
