Question

The two expressions represent the number of people entering a theme park on Saturday and Sunday. Saturday. 508 x minus 70. Sunday. 405 x minus 26. Which expression could represent the total amount of people entering the theme park that weekend?

Answer 1

913x - 96

Explanation:

Given

The expression of number of people entering on Saturdays = 508x-70

The expression of number of people entering on Sundays = 405x-26

total amount of people entering the theme park that weekend = Total entering on Saturday + total entering on Sunday

Substitute the expression;

total amount = 508x - 70 +(405x-26)

total amount = 508x+405x-70-26

total amount = 913x - 96

Hence the total amount of people entering the theme park that weekend is 913x - 96
