your little sister makes up a card game where different types of cards are worth different points. Face cards are worth 16 points, cards with red numbers are worth nine points, and cards with black numbers are worth 6 points. what algebraic expression models the total number of points that you have in your hand? PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

Let:
'f' be the number of face cards in your hand;
'r' be the number of red cards in your hand;
'b' be the number of black cards in your hand.

The total number of points that you have in your hand = 16f + 9r + 6b
