You have $153. You go to the mall to buy clothes, a $18 dvd, and paperbacks. You spend 4 times as much money on clothes than paperbacks. PART A: Write an equation to determine the amount of money you payed on paperbacks. PART B: Then, solve that equation to see how much you spent.

Respuesta :

4x + x + 18 = 153

Add like terms.

5x + 18 = 153

Subtract 18 from both sides.

5x = 135

Divide both sides by 5.

x = 27

You spent $27 on paperback.

Multipky 27 by 4 to find the amount you spent on clothes.

27 × 4 = 108

You spen $108 on clothes.
