Standard Form of a Linear Equation

Question 8 • FL-1200310-Algebra 1 B-CR

A high school basketball team has a budget specifically for towels and extra basketballs. A towel costs $6 and a basketball costs $30. Assume the budget is $300 and that 25 towels are needed for the team for the entire season. Use a standard form equation to determine how many basketballs may be purchased by the team.

Answer

A

5

B

15

C

30

D

275

Explanation

Let T represent towels and B represent basketballs. The standard-form budget equation is 6T + 30B = 300; substituting T = 25 gives 6(25) + 30B = 300. The towels cost $150, leaving $150 for basketballs, so B = 150 ÷ 30 = 5. The team may purchase 5 basketballs.
