Lilly and Samuel purchased supplies together for a school project. They need to determine how much each person should pay.
Markers cost $2.59 each
Poster boards cost $5.59 each
Glue sticks cost each.
Lilly selects 5 markers and 2 poster boards and a glue stick. Samuel selects 3 markers and 3 poster boards and a glue stick. The total for their combined purchase was $49.57.
Select the equation that could be used to solve for x
8(\$2.59)+5(\$5.59) - 2x =\$49.57
8(\$2.59)+5(\$5.59)+ 2x =\$49.57
2/x -8(\$2.59)+5(\$5.59)=\$49.57
x/2 +8(\$2.59)+5(\$5.59)=\$49.57
