suppose you earned 6t+2 dollars on monday and 9t -6 dollars on tuesday what were your total earning simplify your answer
A 15t-4
B 15t+8
C -3t-4
D -3t+8
My answer is a
mine, too.
To find the total earnings, you need to add the amount earned on Monday to the amount earned on Tuesday.
The amount earned on Monday is 6t+2 dollars, and the amount earned on Tuesday is 9t-6 dollars. You can add these two expressions together to get the total earnings:
(6t+2) + (9t-6)
To simplify this expression, combine like terms. The like terms are the ones with the same variable (t).
Combine the t terms: 6t + 9t = 15t
Combine the constant terms: 2 + (-6) = -4
Now, substitute the simplified values back into the expression:
15t - 4
So, the total earnings are represented as 15t - 4.
Looking at the given answer choices, option A is 15t-4, which matches the simplified expression. Therefore, your answer is correct.
