Answer:
i think in every coast we're adding two shillings in the first sentence the total was 5 and we paid $7 and in the second sentence the total was 8 dollars meaning we added to shillings.
Step-by-step explanation:
in my school we are taughtthat we shouldn't mix goats with sheeps so we this the same way we can't mix x and y so in my opinion I guess you can say x + y =to that amount of money at the end you paid if it's 8 dollars or 7 dollars. we can say x represents the coffees and y represents the muffins that's how I get it I hope you want to be angry with me. for example 3 + 2 equals to 7 .3 + 2 is 5 so we'll carry five to the other side of equals where we will make it be minus so we'll say 7 - 5 where will get 2
