Question

Shaun and Trudy are selling raffle tickets. So far, Shaun has sold x tickets. Trudy has sold 3 more tickets than half the number of tickets that Shaun sold. Which expression represents the number of raffle tickets that Shaun and Trudy have sold altogether?

Answer 1

3/2x+3

Explanation:

Answer 2

S=x,

T=s/2+3, using s from above we have:

T=x/2+3

t=T+S

t=x+x/2+3 make all term have a common denominator of 2

t=(2x+x+6)/2

t=(3x+6)/2 or if you prefer

t=1.5x+3
