A 160x + 8 = 150x + 10
This equation can be used to find x, as it represents the total amount raised by each team. The left side of the equation represents the total amount raised by the team selling shirts for $8 each, while the right side represents the total amount raised by the team selling shirts for $10 each. By setting these two amounts equal to each other, we can find the number of additional shirts each team needs to sell in order to raise the same total amount.
4x Two swim teams are selling spirit shirts to raise money.
• One team is selling shirts for $8 each and has already raised $160.
• The other team is selling shirts for $10 each and has already raised $150.
Which equation can be usedto find x, the number of additional shirts each team needs to sell, so that the total amount raised is the same for both teams?
A 160x + 8 = 150x + 10
C 8x - 160 = 10x - 150
D 8x + 160 = 10x + 150
