Answer:
m-(nx)
Step-by-step explanation:
He starts with <em>m</em> dollars, and every day spends <em>n</em> so you would multiply <em>n</em> and <em>x</em> to figure out how much he spent over how many days.
X = bessie and y = betty
x + y = 1464
y = 2x - 375
x + 2x - 375 = 1464
3x - 375 = 1464
3x = 1464 + 375
3x = 1839
x = 1839/3
x = 613 <== Bessie gave 613 gallons
y = 2x - 375
y = 2(613) - 375
y = 1226 - 375
y = 851 <== Betty gave 851 gallons
By minusing 12 to both sides
d+12=2
-12=-12
d =-10
