Answer:

18f - 6 bottles

Explanation:

Amanda, Bruno and Carla collected bottle caps for charity. Amanda collected (4f – 3) bottle caps. Bruno collects twice as many bottle caps as Amanda. Carla collects 3(5 + 2f) bottles. How many bottles did they collect altogether in terms of f ?

From the question

Amanda collected (4f – 3) bottle caps. Bruno collects twice as many bottle caps as Amanda.

= 2(4f - 3)

= 8f - 6 bottle caps

Carla collects 3(5 + 2f) bottles.

= 15 + 6f bottles

The number of bottles they collected altogether in terms of f is calculated as:

(4f – 3) bottle + 8f - 6 bottle + 15 + 6f bottle

4f - 3 + 8f - 6 + 15 + 6f

= 18f - 6
