Question

A baker sells bread for $5 a loaf and rolls for $1 each. The baker needs to sell $35 worth of baked goods by the end of the day. Enter a linear equation that describes the problem.

Answer 1

To be able to express the given scenario through the equation, we are to represent the number of loaves by the variable x and y for the number of baked goods. 

Given the costs and the variables, the linear equation is,
 
                      5x + y = 35

Answer 2

Explanation:

Cost of 1 loaf of bread = $5

Cost of 1 roll = $1

The baker needs to sell both items and it should be worth $35.

To find the linear equation, Suppose, the baker sells “b” loaves of bread and “r” rolls.

Then the total cost of the sales has to be $35.

So, the linear equation will be:

5b + 1r = 35
