The total cost for 8 bracelets, including shipping was $54. The shipping charge was $6. Define your variable and write an equation that models the cost of each bracelet. Would it be 8x+6=54

Sagot :

8x+6=54
    -6   -6
    8x=48   
8x /8=48/8
      x=6 the bracelets were $6 a piece

Answer:

The equation that models the cost of each bracelet is [tex]8x+6=54[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of each bracelet be = x

So, the cost of 8 bracelets are = 8x

The shipping fee is = $6.

The total cost for 8 bracelets, including shipping was $54.

We can denote this mathematically as:

[tex]8x+6=54[/tex]

Now solving for x to get the cost of 1 bracelet.

[tex]8x=54-6[/tex]

=> [tex]8x=48[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 8;

We get x = 6

So, the cost of each bracelet is $6.

The equation that models the cost of each bracelet is [tex]8x+6=54[/tex]
