Question

Rosie has some charms, c, for her charm bracelet. Ray gives Rosie 3 new charms.How many charms does Rosie have now? write an expression

Answer 1

c+3

Step-by-step explanation: she already had c charms, since we do not know what c is equal to, we can only simplify the question down to c(what she had) +3(what ray gave her)

Answer 2

Rosie now has c+3 charms

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the original number of charms that Rosie has is c

We know that Ray gave Rosie 3 new charms

This means that the number of charms that Rosie originally had increased by 3

To express this increase, we use addition where we add 3 to the original number of charms that she had

New number of charms = original number of charms + 3

New number of charms = c + 3

Hope this helps :)
