Question

This equation shows how the time required to screen-print a batch of shirts is related to the number of shirts in the batch.
t = s + 16
The variable s represents the number of shirts in the batch, and the variable t represents the time required to screen-print the shirts. If it takes 17 minutes to screen-print a batch of shirts, how many shirts are in the batch?

Answer 1

one
$t = s + 16$
$17 = s + 16$
$17 = 1 + 16$

Answer 2

Solution:

we are given that

$t = s + 16  $

This equation shows how the time required to screen-print a batch of shirts is related to the number of shirts in the batch.

Here

s represents the number of shirts.

t represents the time required to screen-print the shirts.

It takes 17 minutes to screen-print a batch of shirts.

we have been asked to find how many shirts are in the batch?

To find this we will substitute the value of t=17 and we will work out the value of S.

$17=s+16\\ \\ s=17-16\\ \\ s=1$

Hence there is one shirt in the batch.
