Question

Hello I need help here. I'm really bad in Math.

Qn:
Sam has some oranges. He packs all the oranges in rows in a box. There are six rows with (2m-3) oranges each and one row of 5 oranges.
(a) Express, in expanded form, the number of oranges in each box in terms of m.
(b) Find the number of oranges in the box when m = 7.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Number of oranges in a box = 6*(2m-3) + 5

= 6*2m - 6*3 + 5

= 12m - 18 + 5

= 12m - 13

b) when m= 7,

12m- 3 = 12*7 - 3

= 84 - 3

= 81 oranges
