Tom ordered some books online and spent a total of $75. Each book cost $6 and he paid a total of $3 for shipping. How many books did he buy? (a) Write an equation that could be used to answer the question above. First, choose the appropriate form. Then, fill in the blanks with the numbers 75, 6, and 3. Let b represent the number of books. (b) Solve the equation in part (a) to find the number of books.

a)

_b+_=_

6B+3=75

B)

He ordered 12 books

Step-by-step explanation:

so each book (b) costs $6. he payed $75 total including the $3 shipping price

That gets us:

6b+3=75

6b=72

b=12

Therefore, Tom ordered 12 books

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume

number of candles set =x

price of of x candles =p(x)

we are given

a candle maker prices one set of scented candles at $10 and sells an average of 200 sets each week

so, we get point as (200,10)

he finds that when he reduces the price by $1, he then sells 50 more candle sets each week

so, we can find slope

now, we can use point slope form of line

now, we can plug values

we can use point

and find b

now, we can plug it back

and we get

now, we can find revenue

we know that

revenue = price*quantity

so, we get
