(HELP ASAP PLEASE)
Aunt Gwen is pricing cakes for a baby shower she is throwing. She wants one large cake shaped like a duckling and also some cupcakes in pastel colors. Hillsboro Bakery charges $4 for each cupcake, plus $28 for the large cake. Carson's Sweet Shoppe charges $55 for the large cake and $1 for each cupcake. If Aunt Gwen orders a certain number of cupcakes, the cost will be the same at either bakery. How many cupcakes would that include? What would the total cost be?

So first, set up an equation for each shop, for the first one you can write 4x+28 (since it is 4 dollars for each cupcake and 28 dollars for the cake) and for the second shop you can write 55+x ( 55 dollars for cake and a dollar for each cupcake.) now you can set the 2 equations equal to each other because they want the number for cupcakes where the price will be equal. So 4x+28=55+x and then solve. I don’t want to completely tell you the answer but if you are stuck, you can tell me and I will gladly help.
