Answer:
12 cups.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the total cups of strawberries picked by Margo.
We have been given that Margo freezes 8 cups of strawberries and this is 2/3 of the total strawberries that she picked.
We need to find x such that 2/3 of x equals 8. We can represent this information in an equation as:

Let us multiply both sides of our equation by 3.


Let us divide both sides of our equation by 2.


Therefore, Margo picked 12 cups of strawberries.
Answer is 13a + 2b multiply everything in the parenthesis by 2 so 2 x b is 2b and 2 x 5a is 10a so 3a + 10a is 13a + 2b
