2c + 5, where c is the number of candies Maya has
2c + 5, where c is the number of candies Katie has

Answer 1

The answer is 2c + 5, where C is the number of candies Katie has, because you want twice the amount of Katie's candies, which is 2c, and then 5 more than that, which is the + 5. I hope this helps!

Answer 2

The correct option is: 2c + 5, where c is the number of candies Katie has.

Explanation:

The number of candies Katie has
`=c`

Maya has 5 more than twice as many candies as Katie.

So, "twice as many candies as Katie" means "twice of
`c`"
`=2c`

Now, 5 more than that
`2c`
`= 2c+5`

Thus, the expression that shows the number of candies Maya has will be:
`2c+5`
