Answer:(5x plus 3y)/2
Answer: (5x plus 3y)/2
Let the marks scored by Meenakshi be represented by m. According to the given information, Meenakshi scored one-half the total marks scored by Vandana and Seema. Vandana scored 5 5x marks, and Seema scored 3 3y marks. The total marks scored by Vandana and Seema can be represented as 5 + 3 5x+3y. Therefore, the algebraic expression for the marks scored by Meenakshi is 1 2 ( 5 + 3 ) 2 1 (5x+3y), which simplifies to 5 2 + 3 2 2 5x + 2 3y .
