You are an office manager preparing a supply report. You have recorded the following inventory counts from two different storage cabinets:

Cabinet 1: ${}23r + 14s$ (where $r$ represents reams of paper and $s$ represents boxes of staples) Cabinet 2: ${}9r + 15s$

The total inventory is represented by the expression: ${}23r + 14s + 9r + 15s$

What is the final simplified expression for the total inventory of reams and staples?

An IT manager is consolidating equipment orders from two different departments. The total order is represented by the expression ${}23r + 14s + 9r + 15s$, where $r$ represents routers and $s$ represents switches.
