Question 1196837: A one-day pass to an amusement park costs $40. A round-trip bus ticket to the park costs $5. Write two equivalent expressions to find the total cost of a one-day pass and a bus ticket for 15 students.

40 * x + 5 * x
(40 + 5) * x
simplify the expression to get 45 * x
first expression treats day pass and round trip ticket separately.
40 is the cost of the one day pass, 5 is the cost of a round trip ticket.
second expression factors out the common value from each term.
third expression combines like terms.
