I have a discussion due I need at least a few sentences explaining "What would you do first: distribute a coefficient over every term in parentheses or combine like terms in parentheses? Why?"

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:

2y+y=5

add 2y and y

what are the answer choices given for this problem?

83-45=38

38 was the other number

hope your goes well, here's a turkey
