Answer 2

Answer: The correct option is (D)
`3x+1<x+3.`

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to select the equation or inequality that represents the following statement:

"1 more than 3 times a number is less than the sum of 3 and the same number ".

Let, the given number be represented by x.

Then,

1 more than 3 times the number x is written as

`3* x+1=3x+1.`

and the sum of 3 and the number x is written as

`x+3.`

Since the first statement is less than the second statement, so we can write

`3x+1<x+3.`

Thus, the correct option is (D).
