Answer:
4x + (6(x-y)) or 10x + 6y
Step-by-step explanation:
A Pear costs (x) Pesos
An Orange costs (y) Pesos less than a Pear
Since an Orange is (y) Pesos less than a pear (x), we can find the cost of a Pear by subtracting (y) from (x) leaving (x-y) as the cost of an Orange
Since there are 4 Pears we use 4(x) to find the cost of Pears and to get the total cost of it all we use a half dozen (6) and use the equation for the cost of an Orange leaving us with 6(x-y)
The final total will be calculated with 4(x) + (6(x-y))
Or the final total can be simplified as 10x + 6y
