Tom's Baseball Cards: Tom has 9x baseball cards. This is given in the problem statement.
Adam's Baseball Cards: Adam has 13 more than Tom. To find the number of baseball cards Adam has, we add 13 to the number of cards Tom has.Adam's cards = Tom's cards + 13Adam's cards = 9x+13
Dave's Baseball Cards: Dave has 2y baseball cards. This is given in the problem statement.
Total Cards Calculation: To find the total number of cards they have together, we add the number of cards each person has.Total cards = Tom's cards + Adam's cards + Dave's cardsTotal cards = 9x+(9x+13)+2y
Simplify Expression: Simplify the expression by combining like terms.Total cards = 9x+9x+13+2yTotal cards = 18x+2y+13
