Answer 1

Answer: The answer is A) 8x + 5y

Answer 2

Explanation:

3 pounds of apples for x dollars is 3x apples

2 bags of spinach for y dollars is 2y spinach

5 pounds of apples for x dollars is 5x apples

3 bags of spinach for y dollars is 3y spinach

Add all like terms. 3x+5x=8x and 2y+3y=5y Then we have to add them together by putting them into an equation....8x+5y
