in the State Legislature, there were 119 more members in the House of Representatives than in the Senate. If there were m members in the Senate, write an expression to represent the total members in the State Legislature

Respuesta :

m + (119 + m) = the total members in the State Legislature

Answer: [tex]119 +2m[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : In the State Legislature, there were 119 more members in the House of Representatives than in the Senate.

Then, the number of members in House of Representatives = 119 +No. of members in Senate.

If there were m members in the Senate, then, the  number of members in House of Representatives = 119 +m.

Now, the total number of members in State Legislature

= No. of members in House of Representatives+ No. of members in Senate

=(119+m)+m =119+m+m=119+2m

Therefore , the expression to represent the total members in the State Legislature will be :

[tex]119+2m[/tex]
