Aunt Andrea decided to help with decorations for Rachel’s party. Aunt Andrea created a table to find the amount of balloons she will need.
A 2-column table with 4 rows. Column 1 is labeled Tables, x with entries 3, 4, 5, 6. Column 2 is labeled Balloons, y with entries 15, 20, 25, 30.
What is the equation that represents the scenario?
y = x + 5
y = 5x
y = 3x
y = x + 15
1 answer
The equation that represents the scenario is y = 5x. This is because the number of balloons (y) is equal to 5 times the number of tables (x) plus an additional 5 balloons for each table.
