Please help :) For a party, Liam ordered 1 taco for each guest, for $2.50 each, and paid a $2.00 delivery fee. Michelle ordered 1 burrito for each guest, for $1.80 each, and paid a $3.00 delivery fee. Let g represent the number of guests that attended the party. Which simplified expression represents the total cost of the two orders?

?

OpenStudy (boldjon):

We can write two expressions: Liam: 2.50x + 2 Michelle 1.80x + 3 Where x = number of guests. To simplify them, add them together: 2.50x + 2 + 1.80x + 3 Add 2.50 + 1.80: 4.3x + 2 + 3

OpenStudy (boldjon):

Now add 2 + 3

so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was correct?

OpenStudy (boldjon):

that gives us 4.3x + 2 + 3.

OpenStudy (boldjon):

XD I mean 4.3x + 5.

OpenStudy (boldjon):

so 4.3x+5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So I was correct yay

OpenStudy (boldjon):
