Question

Jessica has $15. She bought 3 apples for x dollars each. Levi had $27 and bought 5 apples for x dollars each. Which expression represents how much money both Jessica and Levi have left altogether?

Answer 1

27 - 5x = 15 - 3x

Explanation:

Let y represent how much money they have left over

y = 15 - 3x

y = 27 - 5x

27 - 5x = 15 - 3x
