you spend $16 on 3 notebooks and x binders. Notebooks cost $2 each and binders cost $5 each. Write an equation you can use to find the number of binders you bought.
3*2 + 5x = 16
All you have to do is know what to add up and split up the amount of money paid which is $16. 3 times 2 is 6, 2 is the notebook's cost and then you do 5x which is 5 times x. 5 is the cost of a binder so if I do 3 times 2 then it is 6 so 5 times x will have to be 10. Then if you add the products together then you will get 16 and the amount paid was $16. So the number of binders bought was 2 binders. The equation you would write is ; 3 times 2+ 5x = 16
Manny and Luis spent the same amount of money on school supplies manny bought a binder for $5 inspired notebooks for $1 each Luis bought a binder for $8 and spiral notebooks for $0.75 each how many spiral notebooks to each boy purchase if they bought the same number spiral notebooks?

Sharice bought 8 songs that cost $0.79 each. She also bought an album. The total price for these items before tax was \$ 15.21 . What was the price of the album
To write an equation to find the number of binders you bought, let's break down the problem.
We know that the total amount spent on notebooks and binders is $16. The cost of each notebook is $2, and the cost of each binder is $5.
Let's start by finding the cost of the notebooks. Since you bought 3 notebooks, the cost of the notebooks is 3 * $2 = $6.
Now, let's find the cost of the binders. Let x be the number of binders. Since each binder costs $5, the cost of the binders is x * $5 = $5x.
To find the total amount spent, we add the cost of the notebooks and the cost of the binders. We can write this as:
$6 + $5x = $16
This equation represents the amount spent on notebooks ($6) plus the amount spent on binders ($5x), which equals the total spent ($16).
