Question

A page election results can hold r results. One polling location had 5r+15 results While the second had 3r-4 results Write and simplify an expression that represents the total number of results at the two polling location

Answer 1

Answer:

Total number of result at two polling location in a page election is represented by expression 8r + 11.

Solution:

Given that a page election result can hold r result.

Number of result at one polling location = 5r + 15  

Number of result at second polling location = 3r - 4

Need to write simplified expression for total number of results at two polling location.

Total number of results at two polling location = Number of result at one polling location + Number of result at second polling location

=> Total number of results at two polling location = (5r + 15) + (3r - 4) = 8r + 11  

Hence total number of result at two polling location is represented by expression 8r + 11.
