Two people bought gas. Each gallon of gas cost the same amount. The money that they spent, in dollars, is represented by the expression shown 24+51 Creat an equivalent expression, using a common factor to show the cost of each gallon of gas and the number of gallons each person bought

Cost =$3

Amount = 8 gallons and 17 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

24 + 51

Required

Simplify to show the cost and amount of gas bought by each individual

24 + 51

[Factorize]

3(8 + 17)

The above can't be factored any further.

Since the cost of gas for both individuals is the same, we can conclude the following.

Cost = $3

This is so because it applies to both numbers in brackets

Amount of Gas = 8 gallons and 17 gallons respectively by both individuals
