Question

the members of the art club are making keychains that require 18 beads apiece. the art club adviser brought a bag with 250 beads for them to use write an equation that shows how the number of beads remaining, y, depends on the number of keychains made, x. y =

Explanation:

Step1: Determine beads used per keychain

Each keychain uses 18 beads, so for \( x \) keychains, beads used are \( 18x \).

Step2: Relate remaining beads to total and used

Total beads are 250. Remaining beads \( y \) = total - used, so \( y = 250 - 18x \).

Answer:

\( 250 - 18x \)
