Here, we want to represent the total cost for the two-day field trip of the science club. if we let x be the number of members in the club, We then come up with the following expressions
For day 1: $60+$20x
For day 2: $100+$17x
Therefore, the cost of c for the two-day field trip is just the sum of equations 1 and 2 that is,
C= Cost for day 1 + cost for day 2
C= $60+ $20x + $100+ 17x
combine like terms to get
$80+$117x
