Question

Bianca is styling hair and makeup for the upcoming dance at her high school. She charges $51 for hair and $35 for makeup. Identify the expression that can be used to represent this situation. (2 points)

86hm
51h(35m)
51h + 35m

Answer 1

51h + 35m

Step-by-step explanation:
For the first option, you can’t combine two different terms. Both would have to be represented by h or by m to put the two together.

On the second option, you wouldn’t multiply the two together either because in the problem, Bianca is doing hair AND makeup which is a keyword for adding.

The third and final option is the correct one because it’s leaving the two values separate and still adding them together.
