Answer 1

The expression that represents how much Edgar spent bowling last Friday and Saturday is 7 + 2x + 5 + 3y.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression that represents how much Edgar spent bowling last Friday and Saturday is 7 + 2x + 5 + 3y.

7 represents the cost of renting shoes on Friday.

2x represents the cost of bowling for 2 hours on Friday.

5 represents the cost of renting shoes on Saturday.

3y represents the cost of bowling for 3 hours on Saturday.
