Question

LeBron goes to the store with six dollars and buys four packs of gum. James goes to the store with five dollars and buys two packs of gum. If each pack of gum costs $p$ dollars, what is the expression that represents how much money LeBron and James have together after buying gum?

Answer 1

p is the cost of each packet of gum.

money left with LeBron = 6 - 4p

money left with James = 5 - 2p

total money left with LeBron and James
= 6 - 4p + 5 - 2p
= 11 - 6p

Answer 2

Lebron and James buying gum together is represents by the expression  is  p = - T/6 + 11/6

What is algebra ?

Algebra is the branch of mathematics that helps in the representation of problems or situations in the form of mathematical expressions. It involves variables like x, y, z, and mathematical operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to form a meaningful mathematical expression.

We have

LeBron have total money = 6 dollars

LeBron buys packs of gum = 4 packs

James have total money = 5 dollars

James buys packs of gum = 2 packs

Each pack of gum cost = p dollars

According to the question

6 - 4p + 5 - 2p = T (total money left)

11 - 6p = T

-6p = T - 11

p = (T - 11) / -6

or

p = - T/6 + 11/6

Hence,  Lebron and James buying gum together is represents by the expression  is  p = - T/6 + 11/6
