Kayla has 8 red tennis balls 6 green tennis balls and five blue tennis balls can kala write a multiplication equation to find out how many tennis balls has she has it in all

Equation for total number of balls = 8x+6x+5x = 19x where x represent a single tennis ball.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Kayla has;

8 red tennis balls

6 green tennis balls

5 blue tennis balls

Let;

red tennis ball be r

green tennis balls be g

blue tennis balls be b

The total number of tennis balls is 8+5+6=19 balls

Multiplication is a repeated form of addition where;

5*5*5 = 3*5 = 5+5+5 = 15

In this case, r+g+b=19 but r, g and b are not repeated thus applying multiplication equation will not give the sum of the balls

However if you let a single ball to be represented by x then a single ball x will be multiplied by the number of balls in that category to get the total number of balls per color

For red balls = 8x

For green balls=6x

For blue balls=5x.

Total number of balls = 8x+6x+5x = 19x where x represent a single tennis ball.
