We know the senate has m members. We will have an equation itself to find how many members are in the house of representatives.
There are 119 more than the senate, which is m:
119+m
Now we are looking for the total members in the state legislature. We need the senate and house of representatives together.
m+119+m
We can simplify that more because there are two m's.
2m+119 would be the expression for the total members in the state legislature.
