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
