Complete question :

Gary has (20x + 7) dollars. Gary decides to buy two pairs of jeans. Each pair of jeans costs (2x - 3) dollars. write an expression that represents how much money gary will have left over after the purchase then simplify your expression

Answer:

$(16x - 1)

Amount Gary has = $(20x + 7)

Price per pair of jeans = $(2x - 3)

Number of pairs = 2

Cost of 2 Jean pairs = 2 * $(2x - 3) = $(4x - 6)

Amount left after purchase :

$(20x - 7) - $(4x - 6)

20x - 7 - 4x + 6

20x - 4x - 7 + 6

$(16x - 1)
