Mr. Spears was purchasing supplies for his math classroom. He had $25 to spend. Mechanical pencils and erasers come in bundles of 10. Each eraser costs $0.50. Fill in the missing place in the equation to compute the cost of each mechanical pencil.(1 point) ____(x + 0.50)=25

Answer 1

In order to solve the equation, we need to isolate the variable "x".

To do this, we will divide both sides of the equation by (x + 0.50):

____(x + 0.50) = 25

____ = 25/(x + 0.50)

So, the missing place in the equation to compute the cost of each mechanical pencil is 25/(x + 0.50).
