Question

on Saturday Leo and his brother drove into town to visit their mom Leo is trying to remember how much he spent on gas and tolls tolls were a dollar $1.75 each and he also spent $28 at the gas station to fill up what are the terms and their factors and coefficients of the algebraic expression that represents the total cost of gas and tolls

Answer 1

Let t be the number of tolls they crossed.

Amount they spent at each toll = $1.75.

Amount they spent at gas station = $28.

Let C be the total amount they spent on gas and tolls.

If they crossed 1 toll, then

C = 28 + 1.75(1).

If they crossed 3 tolls, then,

C = 28 + 1.75(3)

If they crossed t tolls, then,

C = 28 + 1.75t

Here, the terms are 28 and 1.75t and the factors are 1.75 and t.
