\begin{tabular}{|l||}\hline \multicolumn{1}{|c||}{ Savings Application } \\ \hline Trevante and Ciara went shopping for baseball cards on EBay. Trevante purchased 6 blue \\ crates full of baseball cards while Ciara purchased 2 red crates full of baseball cards. \\ They were told by the seller that they would each receive the same number of baseball \\ cards. However, when the crates arived, Trevante's blue crates each contained 7 originat \\ shrink wrapped boxes plus 10 single baseball cards. Ciara's red crates each contained 20 \\ original shrink wrapped boxes plus 42 single cards. \\ Trevante and Ciara needed to figure out how many cards where in the shrink wrapped \\ boxes, but they didn't want to open them, because that would drastically reduce their \\ value. Instead, they used the fact that they both were sold the same number of cards to \\ set up the equation \( 6(7 b+10)=2(20 b+42) \) where \( b \) represents the unknown \\ quantity of cards in each box. \\ \hline \( \begin{array}{l}\text { Help Trevante and Ciara determine how many cards are in each box by solving the } \\ \text { equation for } b \text {.
