Respuesta :

a) equation will be  0.5x + 3 = 18.50

b)  equation will be  (0.75x - 0.10x) + 3 = 21.00

What is equation?

An equation is a mathematical statement that is made up of two expressions connected by an equal sign.

a) Sydney made $18.50 selling lemonade.

she sold each cup for $0.50 and received a $3 tip from a neighbor.

let x be the cost  of cup she sold.

equation will be  0.5x + 3 = 18.50

b) Daria made a profit of $21.00 selling lemonade

she sold her lemonade for $0.75 per cup, received a tip of $3 from a neighbor.

equation will be  (0.75x - 0.10x) + 3 = 21.00
