Answer: Here are two possible expressions for the total cost for Hazar and his friends:
The first expression is to add the cost of game rental and drinks and snacks for all the four friends
6x + 4x =10x where x is the number of friends
Second expression is to calculate the cost for each of the 4 friends and then add it together
(6 + 4) * 4 = 40
Both the expressions represent the same outcome, that is the total cost of $40 for Hazar and his friends to play video games.
