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

Answer:

10x-6y

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
