Answer 1

Y=12(3)+5(3)

Y=36+15

Y=52

Explanation:

Juanita is buying 3 used books and 3 new books. 3 times the price of used books which is 5 equals 15 dollars. 3 times the price of new books which is 12 dollars each equals to 36 dollars. Add the total amount of both so 15+36=52 dollars, the answer for y.
