Let x be the number of additional shirts each team needs to sell.
For the first team selling shirts at $8 each, the equation would be:
Total amount raised = $160 + 8x
For the second team selling shirts at $10 each, the equation would be:
Total amount raised = $150 + 10x
Setting these two equations equal to each other:
$160 + 8x = $150 + 10x
Therefore, the equation that can be used to find x is:
160 + 8x = 150 + 10x
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 used to find x, the number of additional shirts each team needs to sell, so that the total amount raised is the same for both teams? Responses
