I have 14 Baseballs in 23 tennis balls and some boxes of baseballs with 12 baseball and I have the equal amount of boxes of tennis balls and 16 ball write an expression to represent the total number of balls

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

I have 14 Baseballs in 23 tennis balls. I bought some boxes of baseballs with 12 baseball to a box and equal amount of boxes of tennis balls with 16 balls to a box. write an expression to represent the total number of balls

Solution:

Let n represent the number of boxes of each type.

Given, the number of boxes of tennis = number of boxes of baseball, hence:

n = number of boxes of tennis = number of boxes of baseball.

Already I have 14 baseball and I bought boxes of baseballs with 12 baseball to a box, therefore:

Number of baseballs = 14 + 12n

I have 23 tennis ball and I bought boxes of tennis balls with 16 baseball to a box, therefore:

Number of tennis balls = 23 + 16n

Total number of balls = number of baseballs + number of tennis balls

Total number of balls = (14 + 12n) + (23 + 16n) = 14 + 23 + 12n + 16n = 37 + 28n

Total number of balls = 37 + 28n

14
