Question

Jill has c comic books. Tonya has 4 more than twice Jill's comic books. What variable expressions represents the total number of comic books Jill & Tony have all together?

Answer 1

3c + 4

Explanation:

Forming an expression

Number of books with Jill = c

To find the number of books with Tonya, multiply 'c' by 2 and then add 4 to it.

Number of books with Tonya = 2*c + 4

= 2c + 4

Total books all together = c + 2c + 4 {Combine like terms}

= 3c + 4
