Indentify an expression that the following is representive of. Variabe (s): AN x is in the expression, It is the only variable. In the problem, the only cost that is unkown is that of the entry fee for the folklorico show. This variable represents that cost. Coefficients(s): The variable is multiplying with a factor of 3, so it must represent something that is occuring three times in the scenario above. Based on that knowledge, x sumbolizes the cost of entry to the folklorico show. The factor is 3 becausae that is hiw many entries were purchased. Constant(s): The 18 has no variable multiplying with it; therefore, it is a constant. Because it is a fixed value, it represents the $18.00 they spent on snack tickets.

Answer 1

The expression you are describing can be represented as follows:

\[ 3x + 18 \]

Explanation of the components:

1. Variable (x): This represents the unknown cost of the entry fee for the folklorico show.

2. Coefficient (3): The coefficient in front of the variable \(x\) signifies that the cost \(x\) is being multiplied by 3, indicating that three entries to the folklorico show were purchased.

3. Constant (18): The constant 18 represents the fixed amount spent on snack tickets, which is $18.00.

Thus, the entire expression \(3x + 18\) effectively models the total cost incurred from purchasing three entries to the folklorico show plus the cost of snack tickets.
