At the candy store, a chocolate bar costs c dollars and a vanilla bar costs 2 dollars more than a chocolate bar. Jamie buys a chocolate bar and three vanilla bars, and Kevin buys five chocolate bars. How much money, in total, do Jamie and Kevin spend at the candy store in terms of c?

Respuesta :

To represent the amount of money Kevin and Jamie are spending in terms of c, you will write an expression for each person and then add those expressions together.

Jamie:  c + 3(c + 2)
Kevin:  5c

c + 3(c + 2) + 5c; Simplify
c + 3c + 6 + 5c; combine like terms

9c + 6 represents the amount they would spend.
