Question

Determine which situation could be represented by the system of linear equations given below.
5x+3y = 210
x+y = 60

A guitar requires 5 strings and a banjo requires 3 strings. An orchestra has a total of 210 strings. One guitar player and one banjo player have 60 strings.

A candy story sells boxes of chocolates for $5 each and boxes of caramels for $3 each. In one afternoon, the store sold 210 boxes of candy and made a profit of $60.

An audience contains 210 people. Student tickets cost $3 each and adult tickets cost $5 each. At one performance, there are 60 more adults than students.

An art teacher bought paintbrushes in packs of 5 and packs of 3. She bought a total of 60 packs and now has 210 paintbrushes.

Answer 1

The correct answer is the last choice, the scenario about the paint brushes.

In this scenario x stands for the number of packs of five paintbrushes, and y stands for the number of packs of three paint brushes. This is shown in the first equation.

x plus y will give us 60 total packs of paint brushes which is shown in the second equation.

Answer 2

A guitar requires 5 strings and a banjo requires 3 strings. An orchestra has a total of 210 strings. One guitar player and one banjo player have 60 strings.

What are linear equations?

A linear equation is an equation that has a single variable that is raised to the power of 1.  An example is x + 2

The variable x is raised to the power of 1. 2 is the constant terms

A system of linear equations would have to be solved simultaneously in order to determine the required values.
