oh instead of 14x + 8y, i should be switch around to 3x + 4y, now I get it. thank you :)
Answered by Steve
Ty I am not sure what you mean by swapping.

Q1 asked for the algebraic expression which is x + y

Q2 has actual amounts of balloons so now these should be added to the original formula
14x + 8y where x = $3 and y = $4
Therefore
14*3 + 8*4 = $74
