Answer 1

14 baseballs + 23 tennis balls = 37 total balls
x = the number of boxes
16x + 37 <== ur expression

Answer 2

Answer:

Expression to represent the total number of balls:

T = 37 +16x

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of baseballs present in the summer camp = 14

Number of tennis present in the summer camp = 23

Number of boxes of tennis bought by the manager = x

Number of tennis balls in 1 box = 16

Number of new tennis balls bought = 16 × x

So, the expression of total number of balls in the summer camp = T

T = 14 + 16x + 23 = 37 +16x
