Question

1. there are 10x - 8 customers in a store on monday and 6x + 16 customers on tuesday. what is the total number of customers for the two days? a 4x + 24 b 4x + 8 c 16x + 24 d 16x + 8

Explanation:

Step1: Add the two expressions

To find the total number of customers, we add the number of customers on Monday (\(10x - 8\)) and Tuesday (\(6x + 16\)). So we have the expression \((10x - 8)+(6x + 16)\).

Step2: Combine like terms

First, combine the \(x\)-terms: \(10x+6x = 16x\). Then, combine the constant terms: \(-8 + 16=8\). So the total number of customers is \(16x + 8\).

Answer:

D. \(16x + 8\)
