Answer :
The algebraic expression for the weigh of both baskets where each one contains pumpkins and carrots in kilos is equals to the 7x + 2, in kilos.
We have two baskets where each one contains pumpkins and carrots. We have to determine the both baskets weigh together in kilos. Let's assume that
The number of pumpkins in second basket = x kilos
Now, according to first scenario, first basket contains the pumpkins twice as many kilos of pumpkin as in the second basket. That is the number of pumpkins in first basket = 2x kilos
In second case, the second basket there are three more kilos of carrots than there are kilos of pumpkin in the first. So, the number of carrots in second basket
= (3 + 2x ) kilos
In third case, the first basket has 4 kilos less carrot than the second, that is x
=( ( 3 + 2x) - 4 ) kg
Now, weigh of first basket = carrots + pumpkins = (2x + 2x - 1) kilos
= (4x - 1 ) kilos
Weigh of second basket = carrots + pumpkins = (3 + 2x) kilos + x kilos
= (3 + 3x) kilos
So, weigh of both baskets together
= (4x - 1 ) kilos + (3 + 3x) kilos
=( 7x + 2 ) kilos.
Hence, required expression is 7x + 2.
