Given:

Monica saw 25 cardinals and 12 finches

Write an expression for the number of cardinal and finches that Monica saw.

Representation:

Let x =  cardinals

y =  finches

Since she saw 25 cardinals, and 12 finches, we can represent it as,

 x + 25 = number of cardinals

y + 12 = number of finches

Final answer:

 x + 25 = number of cardinals

y + 12 = number of finches
