Answer 1

Answer:

8m+8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the balls in the small box be 'm'

So, from the big box, balls were taken out and transferred into 8 small boxes.

So, m number of balls in one box.

For 8 boxes, it will be 8m

Remaining are 8 balls are we will add the leftover to the previous value.

So, finally

the answer is 8m+8

since we don't know how many balls were kept in each box, the answer is not constant.

Answer 2

Answer:

5m + 8

Balls are transferred from a large box to 5 small boxes.

As the no. balls in each small box be m

and there are 5 small boxes .

and 8 balls are still remaining.

Then There are 5m + 8 balls in large box
