Answer:

11a+3

Step-by-step explanation:

8a-(-3-5a)-2a

Open the bracket first

8a+3+5a-2a

Collect like terms

8a+5a-2a+3

13a-2a+3

11a+3

So the final answer is 11a+3

The error is the that when you open the bracket the minus outside the bracket will multiply everything inside the bracket...and -×-=+

the table shows the cost of the daycare for Lucy's dog this week her dog went 3 full days of day care and 2 half days of day car
drek231 [11]

An expression for the total cost of the daycare for Lucy's dog this week is T = 3F + 2H and the total cost is equal to $114.

<h3>How to write an expression for the total cost?</h3>

In this exercise, you're required to write an expression for the total cost of the daycare for Lucy's dog this week. Thus, we would assign a variable to the cost for full-day and half-day day care as follows:

  • Let the cost for full-day be F.
  • Let the cost for half-day be H.
  • Let total cost be T.

Thus, the total cost of the daycare is given by:

T = 3F + 2H

Evaluating the expression, we have:

T = 3(28) + 2(15)

T = 84 + 30

T = $114.
