So we know that on day 1, 95 barcodes were printed. So whatever we have, 95 + is going to be in there.

Now, if it prints 25 per minute, and on day 2 the first machine printed for x minutes, so that is 25x. We now have 95 + 25x. Now on day 2 the second machine printed for y minutes so now we have 25y. Put everything together and we have 95 + 25x + 25y.
