Maria wants to buy a trophy and engrave her son's name on it. at trophies unlimited, trophies cost $12 each and engraving costs 40f per letter, while at centerpiece trophies, trophies are $12 50 each and engraving is 30e per letter if maria's costs would be the same at both stores, which equation shows the number of letters, x, in her son's name?

i think ur answer is 4 letters in the name

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
