Answer 2

The answer is below

Explanation:

Given the time taken to answer each multiple choice question as one minute, the time taken to x multiple choice question = 1 minute/question × x questions = x minutes

Given the time taken to answer each essay question as six minute, the time taken to y essay question = 6 minute/question × y questions = 6y minutes

Therefore the total time taken to complete X multiple choice question and y essay questions = the time taken to x multiple choice question + the time taken to y essay question = x + 6y
