Four friends went to the movies each ticket cost $8 and each person bought popcorn and a soda for $5 how much did they spend in all ? let m stand for the amount of money spent

m = $52

Explanation:
Tickets (t) = $8
Popcorn & Soda (s)= $5
Friends = 4
Since all friends bought the same thing the equation will be set as
4(t +s) = m OR 4t +4s = m
Using substitution, you plug each variable
t = 8 and s = 5
4((8) + (5)) = m
4(8+5) = m => 4(13) =m => 52=m
OR
4(8) + 4(5) = m => 32 + 20 = m =>
52 =m

1. y=32. x=-13. n=-40
