We can first turn the text into a proper formula:
x plus 10 plus 6 x plus 2 x
x+10+6x+2x
The like terms are the numbers with
We can then put the like terms together to continue the calculation:
x+6x+2x+10
=9x + 10
Therefore, the answer is 9x + 10.
Hope it helps!
So I think you should set up an equation like this: 14.95x+16.88y=131.18 , x+y=8
so x=8-y, plug this into the original equation:
14.95(8-y)+16.88y=131.18
Evaluate: 119.60-14.95y+16.88y=131.18
Combine like terms: 119.60+1.93y=131.18
Subtract 119.60 from both sides. You get: 1.93y=11.58
Divide both sides by 1.93. You get y=6
Plug into second equation: x+y=8 ---> x+6=8 and solve for x. x=2
Christine bought 2 video games and 6 CDs. 14.95(2)+16.88(6)=131.18
