One week, Isabelle bought 2 bags of apples and 3 bags of oranges. The next week, she bought 1 bag of apples and 2 bags of oranges. If a represents the cost of each bag of apples and r represents the cost of each bag of oranges, which expression could Isabelle use to calculate the difference between the amounts she spent each week?

Question

Shadow · Answer

$$2a + 3r = w_{1}$$
$$1a + 2r = w_{2}$$

Shadow · Answer

1a is actually simplified to just a

Shadow · Answer

Written out, that's exactly what the paragraph says. Week one is equal to two apples plus three oranges.

Week two is equal to one apple plus two oranges.

xfcghvb · Answer

Which expression is equivalent to (–3y – x) – (5y – 8x)?
–8y – 8x
–8y + 7x
2y – 7x
8y + 8x

Shadow · Answer

The difference is week one minus week two

Or: $$w_{1} - w_{2}$$
$$(2a + 3r) - (a + 2r) = difference$$
