Answer #1:

The total cost with 6 snacks is $78.

Answer #2:

The total cost with x snacks is represented by the expression 60 + 3x.

Step-by-step explanation for answer #1:

Starting off with what we know:

Genesis has 3 kids, so there are 4 people total including Genesis.
Each movie ticket is $15.
Each snack is $3.

To answer the question of how much money Genesis would have to pay for her family if she bought 6 snacks for everybody, first consider the total cost of the movie tickets.

Multiply the total number of people by the cost of each movie ticket:

$4* 15=60$

Genesis will be paying $60 total only to see the movie with her 3 kids. To find the total cost of both seeing the movie and buying 6 snacks, simply multiply the number of snacks by the cost of each snack:

$6 * 3=18$

Then, add the total cost of the movie tickets by the total cost of the snacks to achieve your first answer:

$60+18=78$

The total cost with 6 snacks is $78.

Step-by-step explanation for answer #2:

To find the total cost of "x" snacks (x is being used as a variable term to represent a quantity subject to change), we can create an algebraic expression.

Let "t" represent the total cost.

Since we've established that finding the total cost is just a matter of adding the total cost of movie tickets (60) and the total cost of snacks (3 multiplied by the number of snacks), let "x" represent the number of snacks in the equation to find the total cost with x snacks:

$60+3x=t$

The total cost with x snacks is represented by the expression 60 + 3x.
