Answer 1

Answer:

The expression representing the Total cost of 6 boxes is $6(3t + 2c)$.

The Simplified expression representing the Total cost of 6 boxes is $18t + 12c$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of thriller movies = 3

Number of Comedy movies = 2

Let the cost of thriller movie be t

Also Let the cost of comedy movie be c

Total Number of boxes = 6

Now, given a DVD box set includes 3 thriller movies and 2 comedies.

Cost of Each box = $3t + 2c$

We need to find the total cost of 6 boxes

Total Cost of 6 boxes is = $6(3t + 2c)$

Hence the expression representing the Total cost of 6 boxes is $6(3t + 2c)$.

Simplifying the above expression we get;

Total Cost of 6 boxes is = $6(3t + 2c)= 6\times3t+6\times2c=18t+12c$

Hence the Simplified expression representing the Total cost of 6 boxes is $18t + 12c$.
