If Leo has d dollars, then dale has 2(3)+Ddollars. If Leo has d dollars, then dale has 2d+3 dollars. If Leo has d dollars, then dale has d+2+3dollars. If Leo has d dollars, then dale has d/2+3 dollars.

Answer 1

The answer would be: If Leo has d dollars, then dale has 2d+3 dollars.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Option b) If Leo has d dollars, then Dale has 2d + 3 dollars.

Explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Let Leo has d dollars.

It is given Dale has three dollars more than twice the money Leo has.

Thus, according to the question Dale's money can be expressed with the help of an equation:

`\text{Dale's money} = 3 + 2* \text{Leo's money}\\\text{Dale's money} = 3 + (2* d) = 3 + 2d`

Thus, option b) is the correct representation of Dale's money.

If Leo has $d, the, Dale have $(3 + 2d).
