Question

Tom has 2 more than 5 times the number of CD’s that Jane has. Jane has 5 CD’s. Write an

expression to express this.

Answer 1

Explanation:

t=2+5×j

j=5

t=2+5×5

t=27

Answer 2

Tom has 2 more than 5 times what Jane has, so you would multiply the amount Jane has by 5, then add 2 to that:

Tom = 5(5) +2

Tom = 25 +2

Tom = 27 CD's.
