You purchase a remote-controlled drone for d dollars. Your friend purchases a drone that costs $35 more than your drone. Your brother purchases a drone that costs three times as much as your friend's drone. Write and simplify an expression that represents the cost (in dollars) of your brother's drone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Friend = $35 more expensive than yours.

Brother = 3 * as much as your friend

Required

Write an expression for the cost of your brother's drone

I'll solve by analysing the question one sentence after the other

You:

Your friend:

Friend = $35 more expensive than yours.

This means

Substitute d for You

Your brother:

Brother = 3 * as much as your friend

This means:

Substitute 35 + d for Friend

Open bracket

b

step-by-step explanation:

given

- 2 (3x + 12y - 5 - 17x - 16y + 4 )

simplify the parenthesis by collecting like terms

= - 2 (- 14x - 4y - 1) ← distribute the parenthesis by - 2

= 28x + 8y + 2 → b

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
