5 The cost of an adult's ticket into a theme park is $a. The cost of a child's ticket into the same theme park is $c.
Write an expression for the total cost for each groun.

Total Cost (in dollars) = a + c

Step-by-step explanation:

Algebra

When mathematics quantities are generalized into letters or variables, then we are dealing with algebra.

We are said the cost of an adult's ticket into a theme park is $a and a child's ticket costs $c. Since both quantities are unknown, we must treat them as variables and use the same logic procedure to solve the problem as if they were numbers.

The total cost for an adult and a child is the sum of both individual costs, thus

Total Cost (in dollars) = a + c

x is the total time in minutes for the free response

you are given number of questions as 15 - m and time per item as 8 minutes

to find x multiply the two givens together:

x = 8 * (15-m) = 8(15-m)
