Represent the total number of calories in x peanuts and y potato chips if each peanut contains 6 calories and each potato chip contains 14 calories.
6x+14y
6x+14y
To represent the total number of calories in x peanuts and y potato chips, we need to calculate the calorie count for each component and then add them together.
Let's start with the peanuts:
Since each peanut contains 6 calories, the total calories in x peanuts would be 6 * x.
Now let's consider the potato chips:
Since each potato chip contains 14 calories, the total calories in y potato chips would be 14 * y.
To find the total number of calories in both the peanuts and potato chips, we add these two quantities together:
Total calories = 6x + 14y
