Kelsey buys several pairs of uniform pants for $17.95 each, and a sweater for $24. Jeana shops at a different store and buys several pairs of uniform pants for $18.95 each, plus a sweater for $18. They set up the situation with the equation below, where x is the number of pairs of pants. Is there a situation in which they pay the same amount for their purchases? Which statements are true? Select all that apply. Kelsey buys several pairs of uniform pants for $17.95 each, and a sweater for $24.

If both Kelsey and Jeana purchase 6 pairs of uniform pants then they would pay the same amount for their purchases.

Step-by-step explanation:

The information provided is as follows:

The variable x is the number of pairs of pants.

The total cost function for Kelsey will be:

The total cost function for Jeana will be:

Consider that both pay the same total cost for their purchases.

Compute the value of x as follows:

Thus, if both Kelsey and Jeana purchase 6 pairs of uniform pants then they would pay the same amount for their purchases.

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}
