Question

Mr. Gonzales has only $36 to spend at a clothing store. He wants to buy a shirt that costs $22 and some bracelets that cost $3.50 each. Choose which equation will determine x, the maximum number of bracelets Mr. Gonzales could buy. (1 point) Responses 22x+3.50=36 22x+3.50=36 3.50x+22=36 3.50x+22=36 x+22=36 x+22=36 3.50x+22=36

Answer 1

solve the equation for the equation to determine number of braclets

Answer 2

The equation that will determine x, the maximum number of bracelets Mr. Gonzales could buy, is:

3.50x + 22 = 36

Answer 3

To solve the equation 3.50x + 22 = 36 for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.

First, we can start by subtracting 22 from both sides of the equation:

3.50x + 22 - 22 = 36 - 22

This simplifies to:

3.50x = 14

Next, we divide both sides of the equation by 3.50 to solve for x:

(3.50x) / 3.50 = 14 / 3.50

This simplifies to:

x = 4

Therefore, the maximum number of bracelets Mr. Gonzales could buy is 4.
