15(2.5+x)=82.5; x=3

what does the solution, x=3, represent?

a. the total fabric needed for the shirts

b. the total fabric for each shirt and each pair of shorts

c. the amount of fabric left over after making the shirts and shorts

d. the amount of fabric needed for each pair of shorts

Option: D.  The amount of fabric needed for each pair of shorts

Step-by-step explanation:

A company is making new soccer uniforms for a team.

The company uses 2.5 yards of fabric for each shirt.

The company uses 82.5 yards of fabric to make shirts and shorts for 15 players.

The equation and solution below represents the situation.

15(2.5+x)=82.5    

 x=3.

So, here the solution x=3 represents the:

D. the amount of fabric needed for each pair of shorts

( since, if x is the amount of fabric required for each short.

and 2.5 yard is the amount of fabric for each shirt.

So, the total amount of fabric for each player is: 2.5+x

and there are 15 players so, the total amount of fabric used by company is:

15×(2.5+x)

and we are given that the company uses a total of 82.5 yards of fabric.

Hence,

15×(2.5+x)=82.5

which on solving gives x=3)
