A golf course charges $18 for a package including the full 18-hole course. The course also sells buckets of golf balls for $20 each. The golf course would like to earn $400 by the end of the day. Write a linear equation that describes the problem.

18x + 20y = 400

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the no. of 18-hole course

And y be the no. of golf balls

18x + 20y = 400

or

step-by-step explanation:

we need to solve for 'x' the following equation:  

we have that:

⇒

⇒ ⇒

factorizing, we get that:

  ⇒
