Xian makes lemon cakes (m) and chocolate cakes (n) for the school bake sell.

Question

Xian then bakes another batch and now has twice as many chocolate cakes.

Write the total number of cakes Xian made as a algebraic expression.

Answer 1

Let's denote the number of lemon cakes Xian made as "m" and the number of chocolate cakes as "n."

From the given information, the number of chocolate cakes is now twice as many as before, so we can express it as 2n.

To find the total number of cakes Xian made, we can add the number of lemon cakes and the number of chocolate cakes together: m + 2n.

Therefore, the algebraic expression for the total number of cakes Xian made is m + 2n.
