PLS I HAVE A QUIZ TOMMOROW

Sanders bought two cars to work on in his auto shop. One car is $650 more than the other. The two cars cost $865 together. Let x = the cost of one of the cars
Enter an equation to represent the price of both cars together.

Respuesta :

Answer:

x+(x+650)=865

Step-by-step explanation:

so we have two cars. call one car x and the other y. from this we know x+y= 856. so, the equation for the cost of the two cars together is x + y = 865. but we can only use x as a variable, so what i ls x equal to? we also know that y-x=650. so, y=650+x. plug this into the first question, ans we have the equation for the cost of both together.
