Question

There were p people on Michelle's hockey team. Five new people joined the team. Which expression represents how many people are on the hockey team now?

A. p – 5
B.
C. 5p
D. p + 5

Answer 1

The answer is D

Answer 2

The Answer is LETTER D

Reasoning:

so lets make up a number to represent P: howabout ten. and p is the original amount of people in the hockey team, so lets just say that there are ten people there right now. and if five people joined, it would ADD ( + ) five people to the team. so it would be the Original 10 + 5, just replace the ten with P, and you get P + 5
