Question

Students planted 2(3x + 4y) amount of trees on Saturday and then 3(x + 8) amount of trees on Sunday. What is the total amount of trees that the students planted? *

Answer 1

(9x + 8y + 24) trees

Explanation:

The total amount of trees the students planted is calculated as:

Amount of trees planted on Saturday + Amount of trees planted on Sunday

= 2(3x + 4y) + 3(x + 8)

= 6x + 8y + 3x + 24

= 6x + 3x + 8y + 24

= 9x + 8y + 24

Hence, the total amount of trees the students planted was (9x + 8y + 24) trees
