The equation 12x + 15y = 390 represents the total revenue during a one-day fundraiser. In the equation, x represents the number of youth T-shirts sold, and y represents the number of adult T-shirts sold. If there were 10 youth T-shirts sold, how many adult T-shirts were sold?

So we have

12(10) + 15y = 390  

120 + 15y = 390     subtract 120 from both sides

15y  =  270             divide by 15 on both sides

y = 18 adult shirts
