Question

Tom's age is 5 more than twice Drake's age. Which expression represents this?

Answer 1

T=Tom
D=Drake

T = 2D + 5

Answer 2

Tom's age:
`2x+5`

Explanation:

Let x represent Drake's age in years.

We have been given that Tom's age is 5 more than twice Drake's age.

Twice Drake's age would be
`2x`.

5 more than twice Drake's age would be
`2x+5`.

Therefore, the expression
`2x+5` represents Tom's age.
