Gabriel determined that his total cost would be represented by 2. 5x 2y – 2. His sister states that the expression should be x x 0. 5x y y – 2. Who is correct? Explain.

Respuesta :

The equations of both the sister are the same.

Expression

In mathematics, an expression is defined as a set of numbers, variables, and mathematical operations that are formed according to rules which are dependent on the context.  

Given to us

Gabriel Equation: [tex]2.5x+2y-2[/tex],

Gabriel's Sister Equation: [tex]x+x+0.5x+y+y-2[/tex],

Gabriel's Sister Equation

On further solving the equation we get,

[tex]x+x+0.5x+y+y-2\\=2.5x + 2y-2[/tex]

As we can see the equation transformed to Gabriel's Equation of total cost.

Therefore, both the sisters are correct as the equations of both the sister are the same.
