Question

a community service group organizes a car wash that raises \\(7c - 18\\) dollars and a spaghetti dinner that raises \\(6s - 45\\) dollars. which expression represents the total amount of money raised?

\\(13cs - 63\\)
\\(7c + 6s + 63\\)
\\(7c + 6s - 63\\)
\\(7c + 6s - 27\\)

Explanation:

Set up the sum of the two expressions

$$ (7c - 18) + (6s - 45) $$

Combine like terms

$$ 7c + 6s + (-18 - 45) = 7c + 6s - 63 $$

Answer:

  • (A) \(13cs - 63\)
  • (B) \(7c + 6s + 63\)
  • (C) \(7c + 6s - 63\) (Correct answer)
  • (D) \(7c + 6s - 27\)
