Right.

To find the total number of athletes in both tennis and basketball teams, you can add the number of players in each team.
For the tennis teams:
There are 3 teams, and each team has 2 players.
So the total number of tennis players is 3 teams * 2 players per team = 6 players.
For the basketball teams:
There are 5 teams, and each team has 5 players.
So the total number of basketball players is 5 teams * 5 players per team = 25 players.
To find the total number of athletes, you can add the number of tennis players and basketball players:
6 tennis players + 25 basketball players = 31 athletes.
So, your answer of 31 athletes is correct.
To find out the total number of athletes, we need to add the number of players in each team.
Given that there are 3 tennis teams and each tennis team has 2 players, the total number of tennis players is 3 * 2 = 6.
Similarly, there are 5 basketball teams and each basketball team has 5 players, so the total number of basketball players is 5 * 5 = 25.
To calculate the total number of athletes, add the number of tennis players and basketball players: 6 + 25 = 31.
Therefore, your answer of 31 athletes is correct. Well done!
