in a 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
We know the senate has m members. We will have an equation itself to find how many members are in the house of representatives. There are 119 more than the senate, which is m: 119+m Now we are looking for the total members in the state legislature. We need the senate and house of representatives together. m+119+m We can simplify that more because there are two m's. 2m+119 would be the expression for the total members in the state legislature.
