    4c + 2c

    The total cost for 2 adults and 3 children to attend a game would be 14 dollars total

    Step-by-step explanation:

    First to solve this question, we have to find what the problem is asking.

    The problem is asking us to first write an expression (An expression is a sentence with a minimum of two numbers and at least one math operation. This math operation can be addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. It DOES NOT HAVE AN EQUAL SIGN)

    To find the expression we first have to find how much 1 adult cost and how much 1 child costs.

    (1 adult = $4. 1 child=$2)

    Now we know how much the costs for 1, we have to find out how many adults and children there are. Since we don't know, we can use variables in place of it

    (Exp: $4 times number of adults + $2 times number of children)

    Number of adults = C

    Number of children = C

    So now our expression should look like this ($4c+$2c)

    After we find the expression, it wants us to use our expression to find the Total Cost of 2 adults and 3 children to attend a game.

    So now we can replace our variables

    $4c + $2c now becomes $4 (2) + $2 (3)

    4 (2) = 8

    2 (3) = 6

    8+6 = $14

    So, it will cost $14 dollars for 2 adults and 3 children to attend a game.
