To simplify this all you need to do is distribute the 4x across each term in the parenthesis
Answer: See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
I think your question isn't well written and that 234 was meant to be 2.34 and 112 was meant to be 1.12
Let the amount spent on tomatoes be x.
The information given in the question can then be used to form an equation as thus:
Apples + Peaches + Tomatoes = $9.63
(2.34 × $1.32) + (1.12 × $1.20) + x = $9.63
$3.0888 + $1.344 + x = $9.63
x = $9.63 - ($3.0888 + $1.344)
x = $9.63 - $4.4328
x = $5.1972
The amount spent on tomatoes will be $5.1972
