12. You are ordering shirts for the math club at your school. Short-sleeved shirts cost $5 each. Long-sleeved
shirts cost $10 each. You have a budget of $180 for the shirts. The equation
5x+10y=180 models the total cost, where x is the number of short-sleeved shirts and y is the number of long-
sleeved shirts. Graph the equation. Interpret the intercepts.
The x-intercept shows that you can buy ___________ short-sleeved shirts when you do not buy any long-sleeved
shirts. The y-intercept shows that you can buy______________ long-sleeved shirts when you do not buy any
short-sleeved shirts.
