Answer:
Total number of ice cream cones sold = 15x +7
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the statement: Suppose 8x + 16 ice cream cones were sold on Saturday and 7x - 9 were sold on Sunday.
⇒ Ice cream cones were sold on Saturday = 8x+16
and
Ice cream cones were sold on Sunday = 7x -9
We have to find the total number of ice cream cones sold.
Total number of ice cream sold = Ice cream cones sold on Saturday + Ice cream sold on Sunday
Substitute the given values we get;
Total number of ice cream sold = [tex]8x + 16 + 7x -9 = 15x + 7[/tex]
Therefore, the total number of ice cream cones sold is, 15x +7
