The algerbraic expression would look like this:

16+x=x

Answer 2

The algebraic expression that represents the total number of photos that LaTonya and Luis have = 16 + p

Explanation:

Number of photos on LaTonya mobile phone = 16

Number of photos in wallet of Luis = p

Now, we need to find the total number of photos that LaTonya and Luis have.

So, To find the required total number of photos we can add the number of photos that each one of them have.

Now, Total number of photos = Number of photos LaTonya has + Number of photos Luis has

⇒ Total number of photos = 16 + p

Hence, The algebraic expression that represents the total number of photos that LaTonya and Luis have = 16 + p
