Answer: 15x-2 (answer A)
Explanation:
To find the total travel time, we need to add the time it takes to travel in the morning and the time it takes to travel in the evening:
Total travel time = (3x - 10) + (12x + 8)
Simplifying the expression by combining like terms, we get:
Total travel time = 15x - 2
Therefore, the total travel time is 15x - 2. So, the answer is (a) 15x - 2.
