A clothing company sells hats online to its customers. The price of each hat is p dollars. The shipping cost is 's dollars. The equation shown below can be used to find the total cost (c), in
dollars, when n hats are purchased.
c=np + S
Which equation can be used to find the price of each hat when 5 hats are purchased, the
shipping cost is $6, and the total cost is $41?

15 were purchased in

To find the value of the variable (j), we need to isolated it. we can do this by getting rid of all other numbers on that side of the equation. to do that, use the opposite function on both sides

8j + 17 = 20
the opposite function of +17 is -17, so subtract 17 from both sides to get
8j = 3
the opposite function of x8 is /8, so divide each side by 8 to get
j = 3/8
