2(8a + 5b) -(2a + 3b) Part A: Simplify the expression shown above, and include all necessary work to support your answer. Part B
: If a represents apples that cost $0.25 each and b represents bananas that cost SO. 15 each, what is the total cost based on the expression above? Include all necessary work to support
<em>Part A: Simplify the expression shown above</em>
Exapanding the brackets;
16a + 10b - 2a - 3b
Collecting like terms;
16a - 2a + 10b - 3b
14a + 7b
<em>Part B: If a represents apples that cost $0.25 each and b represents bananas that cost SO. 15 each, what is the total cost based on the expression above?</em>
count all the dots that are greater than 10. you'll get 6 dots. the question is asking for the dots 10 and fewer there is 40 dots in total so you subtract
