Answer:

a. [tex]18x + 12[/tex]

b. $2.50

Step-by-step explanation:

a. If there are 12 cups and 6 mugs, and one cup is x and 1 mug is x+2, then multiply to get 18x + 12

b. Use the previous equation 18x+12=57 to get your answer. First move the 12 over to change the 57 to a 45. Then divide 45/18 to get 2.50 as you answer.
