Answer 1

Simple the answer is 45

1 caseworker has 15 cases and th ther has twice as many so thats multiplication, which is 15x2=30. then they asked how many cases does the office have so thats both the workers combined which is 15+30=45

so 15x2=30

15+30=45

45

Explanation:

f= # of cases the first caseworker has

t= total number of cases

equation: t = 15+2f
