GPT 3.5
A hardware store sells two types of screws, Type A and Type B. Type A screws cost $0.10 each and Type B screws cost $0.15 each. A customer wants to purchase a combination of Type A and Type B screws for a total cost of $2.00.
Let x be the number of Type A screws purchased and y be the number of Type B screws purchased. The equation representing the cost of the screws is:
0.10x + 0.15y = 2.00
This is an equation with infinitely many solutions because there are countless combinations of Type A and Type B screws that can be purchased to equate to a total cost of $2.00. Some possible solutions could be x = 10 and y = 6, x = 15 and y = 4, x = 20 and y = 2, and so on.
