Haley and Greg sold popcorn as a school fundraiser in front a popular local store for 3 hours. Haley sold 15 boxes of popcorn and Greg sold 9. Each box of popcorn is $2. Which expression best represents about how much they sold together every hour?

The correct answer is for three hours they sold $ 2 ( x+l ); $ 2 ( y+m ); $ 2 ( z+n ) where  x + y + z =15 and l + m + n = 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Haley had 15 boxes and Greg had 9 boxes of popcorn ready to be sold.

Price of each box is $2.

Let Haley sell x, y, z boxes per hour for 3 hours and Grey sell l, m, n boxes hourly.

Given x + y + z =15 and l + m + n = 9.

Amount worth sold by Haley in 1st hour is $2x.

Amount worth sold by Greg in 1st hour is $2l.

Amount sold in the 1st hour together is $ 2 ( x+l ).

Amount worth sold by Haley in 2nd hour is $2y.

Amount worth sold by Greg in 2nd hour is $2m.

Amount sold in the 2nd hour together is $ 2 ( y+m ).

Amount worth sold by Haley in 3rd hour is $2z.

Amount worth sold by Haley in 3rd hour is $2n.

Amount sold in the 3rd hour together is $ 2 ( z+n ).

Therefore amount earned hourly by selling popcorn together are $ 2 ( x+l ); $ 2 ( y+m ); $ 2 ( z+n ).

step-by-step explanation:

y < -3

step-by-step explanation:

-3y - 2 > 7

-3y -2 + 2 > 7+2

-3y > 9

-3y/-3 < 9/-3   (change the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative number)

y < -3
