12 bro it even says to follow the order of operations. If there is only addition and subtraction you just go from left to right. Same with if there is only multiplication and division.
<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
<u>The rule is: </u>
T(x) = 8x + 20
<em><u>Explanation:</u></em>
<u>We are given that:</u>
<u>The rule for the amount that one friend pays is:</u>
C(x) = 2x + 5
<u>Now, we know that:</u>
Each of the four friends will pay the entry fee which is $5 per person
The 4 friends will play the same number of games represented by x
<u>This means that:</u>
We can simply get the rule for the total amount to be paid by the four friends (T(x)) by multiplying the amount paid by each friend by 4
<u>This means that:</u>
T(x) = 4 * C(x)
T(x) = 4(2x + 5)
T(x) = 8x + 20
Hope this helps :)
