Jimmy is planning his birthday party! he spent $35 on balloons and chocolate cake. he bought balloons that cost $0.25 each and a chocolate cake for $10. he wrote the equation 0.25x+10=35 to represent the situation. explain what each piece of the equation represents and why the equation is in that order

In the equation, x represents the number of balloons. We say that 25 cents per balloon becomes 0.25x.

Jimmy also purchased a chocolate cake. This is the PLUS sign in the equation.

The total for everything purchased is $35.

Balloons x at 25 cents each = 0.25x plus a chocolate cake for $10 together equals $35.

english, cause i can’t you

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer
