Question

“ A coach spends a total of $435 to buy a uniform and a soccer ball for each of the 15 players on the team. The cost of each soccer ball is $8. which equation can be used to find the cost of each uniform” 1: 15x + 8 = 4352: 15 + 8x = 435 15 ( x + 8 ) = 4358 ( x + 15 ) = 435 “

Answer 1

Given that:

- The total amount of money the coach spends to buy a uniform and a soccer ball for each player is $435.

- There are 15 players on the team.

- Each soccer ball costs $8.

Let be "x" the cost (in dollars) of each uniform.

If there are 15 players on the team, then the coach needs to buy 15 uniforms. Therefore, the total cost of the 15 uniforms can be represented with this expression:

$15x$

And the total cost of the 15 soccer balls can be obtained by multiplying $8 by 15.

Knowing the above, you can write this expression to represent the total amount of money the coach spends:

$15\mleft(x+8\mright)$

Knowing that amount of money the coach spends, you can write this eqa
