Answer: [tex]5x-2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be [tex]x[/tex] the number of tickets Max has.

"Four times the number of tickets that Max has" indicates multiplication. It can be written as:

[tex]4x[/tex]

Now, since Evie has two less than four times the number of tickets that Max has, the expression that represents the number of tickects Evie has, is the following:

[tex]4x-2[/tex]

FInally, to find the expression that represents the combined number of tickets Max and Evie have, you must add [tex]x[/tex] and [tex]4x-2[/tex].

Therefore, this is:

[tex](x)+(4x-2)=5x-2[/tex]
