Question

At a farmers market, Samuel bought 3 pounds of apples for x dollars per pound and 2 bags of spinach for y dollars each. The next day he returned and bought 5 pounds of apples for x dollars per pound and 3 bags of spinach for y dollars each. Which expression represents the total amount he spent at the market on both days? 8x g 5y 8y 5x 6y + 7x 6x + 7y

Answer 1

At first you have to write the variables out which are
$3x + 2y + 5x + 3y$
now you have to combine like terms
$3x + 5x = 8x$
$2y + 3y = 5y$
now you add these two variables and end up with answer of
$8x + 5y$
