Example Question #1 : System Of Equations And Inequalities: Ccss.Math.Content.Hsa Ced.A.3

There are 8 apples in a small fruit basket and 14 apples in a large fruit basket. If Sally buys a total of 5 fruit baskets that have a combined total of 58 apples, write an equation that represents the total number of apples that Sally has.

Possible Answers:

$\displaystyle 8s+58l=14$

$\displaystyle 8s+14l=58$

$\displaystyle 2s+4l=58$

$\displaystyle 14s+8l=58$

$\displaystyle 8s+5l=58$

Correct answer:

$\displaystyle 8s+14l=58$

Explanation:

To write the appropriate equation for this situation, start by identifying what is known.

$\\\text{small fruit basket}=8\text{ apples} \\\text{large fruit basket}=14\text{ apples}$ $\displaystyle \\\text{small fruit basket}=8\text{ apples} \\\text{large fruit basket}=14\text{ apples}$

Now write the equation in words.

$\# \text{ small fruit baskets}+\# \text{ large fruit baskets}=58\text{ apples}$ $\displaystyle \# \text{ small fruit baskets}+\# \text{ large fruit baskets}=58\text{ apples}$

Let

$\\s=\text{small fruit basket} \\l=\text{large fruit basket}$ $\displaystyle \\s=\text{small fruit basket} \\l=\text{large fruit basket}$

therefore the equation becomes,

$\displaystyle 8s+14l=58$

Example Question #2 : System Of Equations And Inequalities: Ccss.Math.Content.Hsa Ced.A.3

There are 6 apples in a small fruit basket and 10 apples in a large fruit basket. If Sally buys a total of 5 fruit baskets that has a combined total of 34 apples, write an equation that represents the total number of apples that Sally has.

Possible Answers:

$\displaystyle 6s+34l=10$

$\displaystyle 6s+10l=32$

$\displaystyle 34s+10l=6$

$\displaystyle 6s+10l=34$

$\displaystyle 8s+10l=34$

Correct answer:

$\displaystyle 6s+10l=34$

Explanation:

To write the appropriate equation for this situation, start by identifying what is known.

$\\\text{small fruit basket}=6\text{ apples} \\\text{large fruit basket}=10\text{ apples}$ $\displaystyle \\\text{small fruit basket}=6\text{ apples} \\\text{large fruit basket}=10\text{ apples}$

Now write the equation in words.

$\# \text{ small fruit baskets}+\# \text{ large fruit baskets}=34\text{ apples}$ $\displaystyle \# \text{ small fruit baskets}+\# \text{ large fruit baskets}=34\text{ apples}$

Let

$\\s=\text{small fruit basket} \\l=\text{large fruit basket}$ $\displaystyle \\s=\text{small fruit basket} \\l=\text{large fruit basket}$

therefore the equation becomes,

$\displaystyle 6s+10l=34$

$\\\text{small fruit basket}=3\text{ apples} \\\text{large fruit basket}=7\text{ apples}$ $\displaystyle \\\text{small fruit basket}=3\text{ apples} \\\text{large fruit basket}=7\text{ apples}$

Now write the equation in words.

$\# \text{ small fruit baskets}+\# \text{ large fruit baskets}=31\text{ apples}$ $\displaystyle \# \text{ small fruit baskets}+\# \text{ large fruit baskets}=31\text{ apples}$

Let

$\\s=\text{small fruit basket} \\l=\text{large fruit basket}$ $\displaystyle \\s=\text{small fruit basket} \\l=\text{large fruit basket}$

therefore the equation becomes,

$\displaystyle 3s+7l=31$
