The expression for 9 bags containing q marbles each will be 9x.
therefore with 9 more marbles added, the expression will be
9x + 9

Could you please help me. In Marbles-R-Us they sell marbles 
in boxes. Zeeshan buys 9 bags, each containing q marbles. On 
the way home he plays Mark and wins 9 more marbles.  What is 
the expression for this?  Thank you.

Each of the 9 bags contains q marbles, so Zeeshan leaves the
Marbles-R-Us store carrying

        9q 

marbles.

He then plays Mark and wins 9 more marbles. So we add 9 to
9q and get

       9q + 9

That will do for an answer.  Maybe your teacher wants you to
use the distributive law in reverse to get

       9(q + 1)

However 9q + 9 will do.
