Belle put the muffins she baked on six plates, four of which are red and two of which are yellow. the four red plates each have 5 muffins. the two yellow plates each have the same number of muffins write an expersion for the total number of muffins belle baked if each yellow plate has 8 muffins, find how many muffins belle baked in all

Hey there!

To write an expression to represent this:

We know that the four red plates each have 5 muffins, and 4 x 5 = 20.

So we can say 20 + 2y is the expression, because we add 20 to the muffins on the two yellow plates.

The number of muffins on each yellow plate is represented by the variable y.

If each yellow plate has 8 muffins, so y = 8, the expression will look like this:

20 + 2(8)

Multiply 2 x 8.

20 + 16

Add 20 + 16.

36

Belle baked 36 muffins total.
