Question

a pear costs x cents.an orange costs y cents less than a pear.find the cost of 4 pears and half a dozen of oranges​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation: one pear represent x. One orange represent y. But as oranges are less than pear so y=x-y.

Hence 4x+6y where y=x-y

Therefore 4x+6(x-y)

4x+6x-6y

10x-6y
