Sonu and Raju have to collect different kinds of leaves for science project. They went to a park where Sonu collected 12 leaves and Raju collected x leaves. After sometime Sonu lost 3 leaves and Raju collects 2x leaves. Write an algebraic expression to find the total number of leaves collected by both of them. [4 MARKS]
Final number of leaves by both : 2 Mark
Steps : 1 Mark
Result : 1 mark
First case, Sonu collected 12 leaves and Raju collected x leaves
Sum of leaves collected by sonu = 12
Sum of leaves collected by Raju =x
After sometime,Sonu lost 3 leaves and Raju collected 2x leave
Sum of leaves collected by sonu = 12-3 =9
Sum of leaves collected by Raju = 2x +x =3x
Algebraic expression for the total number leaves collected by both =9+ 3x
