Respuesta :

Answer:

The equation that represent the given situation is [tex]150=5x+10[/tex]

The amount that Eliza spent was $28

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct question is

Jade and Eliza went shopping at a mall. Jade spent $10 more than 5 times the amount that Eliza spent. Jade spent a total of $150.With equation represents a given situation and what was the amount that Eliza spent

Let

x ---> the amount that Eliza spent

y ---> the amount that Jade spent

we know that

[tex]y=5x+10[/tex] ----> equation A

[tex]y=150[/tex] ---> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

[tex]150=5x+10[/tex] ---> equation that represent the given situation

Solve for x

subtract 10 both sides

[tex]5x=150-10[/tex]

[tex]5x=140[/tex]

divide by 5 both sides

[tex]x=28[/tex]

therefore

The  amount that Eliza spent was $28
