At the movie theater, each drink costs 3 dollars and each box of candy costs x dollars. Charlie bought 2 drinks and one box of candy. Tyrell bought I drink and 3 boxes of candy. Write a simplified expression representing how much more Charlie spent

Sagot :

We know each drink costs 3 dollars and each box of candy costs x dollars.

Charlie bought 2 drinks and 1 box of candy, so the expression is:

[tex]\text{Charlie spent=2}\cdot3+x=6+x[/tex]

Tyrell bought 1 drink and 3 boxes of candy, so the expression is:

[tex]\text{Tyrell spent=1}\cdot3+3x=3+3x[/tex]

The expression to know how muxh Charlie spent is:

[tex]\text{Charlie spent-Tyrell spent=(6+x)-(3+3x)=6-3+x-3x=3-2x}[/tex]

So, the expression is 3-2x.
