Question

Mr. Bates and Ms. Psenicska like playing Pokemon. Mr. Bates has 3 packs of cards plus 2 other cards. Ms. Psenicska has 6 packs of cards plus 8 other cards. White an algebraic expression to represent this scenario.

Answer 1

The only algebraic expressions we can find here are the ones for the number of cards that Mr. Bates and Ms. Psenicska have.

We know that Mr. Nates has 3 packs of cards, plus 2 other cards.

If each pack of cards has N cards, then the total number of cards of Mr. Nates is:

Mr. Nates = 3*N + 2

And Ms. Psenicska has 6 packs plus other 8 cards, then she has a total of:

Ms. Psenicska = 6*N + 8

These two are the only expressions we can make with the given information.
