Question

wtire an expression for the number of meals that each sold?

???? I don't know how many sarah sold. Im confused on getting an expression.

Answer 1

x=semir
y=sarah
z=sung

semir sold 3 times as many meals as sarah
x=3*y

sung sold 2 more meals than sarah.
z=2+y

y=y

so
3*y + y + (2+y) = meals sold

you can simplify more

3y+2y+2

Answer 2

let sarah's sales be x
then semir sold 3x
and sung sold x+2

Answer 3

3y+y+2y

Answer 4

3y+2y+2
