Answer 1

The first one is 30 computers

The second is n +d computers

Explanation:

The first one, you just need to add 14 and 16 cause that's the total.

The second one, it is n + d computers because you need to add everything to get the total so it is n + d

(if you need to find the prices, it is 1. 6300$ and 2. 250n+175d

The cost to buy 14 notebooks and 16 desktop computers will be:

= 250(14) + 175(16)

= 3500 + 2800

= $6300

The cost to buy n notebooks and d desktop computers will be:

= 250(n) + 175(d)
