For the equation \(9x + 25 = 88\), Deens wrote the situation:

"I bought some shirts at the store for $9 each and received a $25 discount. My total bill was $88. How many shirts did I buy?"

Asked by Sou

Answer (2)

For this, I looked at the equation (9x+25=88) From this, ou should then subtract the 25 from the 88, as this will then leave you with the X's on one side, and the answer on the other. From this, I got 9x=63. As 9 is the price of the shirt, you should divide $63 by 9, and this will give yo seven shirts.

To find the number of shirts purchased, solve the equation 9 x + 25 = 88 . After simplifying, you find that Deens bought 7 shirts. This was confirmed by checking the total cost after the discount.
