Answer:

variable is number of balloons

b = balloons

b+10 = cupcakes

85 = 2b + 5b + 50 = 7b + 50

Step-by-step explanation:

#cupcakes = 10 + b #balloons

total cost $85 = ($2 x b) + $5 x (b + 10)

                          balloons       cupcakes

85 = 2b + 5b + 50 combine terms and subtract 50 from both sides of =
