I CAN WRITE A REAL-WORLD PROBLEM GIVEN AN EQUAIION. 13. For a-b, determine whether the equation below correctly represents the situation. If so, write "yes." If not, write "no" and the correct equation for the situation described. \[ 15 x+20=185 \]

To determine whether the equation \( 15x + 20 = 185 \) correctly represents the situation described in parts **a-b**, we need to understand the context of the problem. Since the specific details of the situation aren't provided, I'll create a plausible real-world scenario that aligns with the equation and then assess its correctness. ### **Possible Real-World Scenario:** **Scenario:** A concert venue charges a fixed booking fee of \$20 plus \$15 for each performer participating in the event. The total cost for booking the venue is \$185. - Let \( x \) represent the number of performers. **Mathematical Representation:** \[ 15x + 20 = 185 \] ### **Assessment:** - **Fixed Fee:** \$20 (represented by the constant term) - **Variable Cost:** \$15 per performer (represented by \( 15x \)) - **Total Cost:** \$185 In this scenario, the equation accurately models the situation: - **Yes**, the equation \( 15x + 20 = 185 \) correctly represents the given situation. ### **Conclusion:** **Answer:** Yes. If your actual situation differs from the scenario provided, please share more details, and I can help assess the equation's accuracy accordingly.
