Answer
baseballs:14+12n
tennies balls: 23+16n
14+12n+23+16n
14+23+12n+16n
(14+23)+(12n+16n)=37+28n
(n= the number of boxes of each type)
Step 1: We write expressions for the total number of baseballs and tennis balls
Step 2: We find an expression fr the total number of balls:
We combine the above expressions:
We use the Commutative Property:
We combine like terms:
( the answer is 37+28n)
