Nicole is trying to determine an algebraic expression to represent the amount of dog biscuits she needs to purchase for a dog show. She does not know how many dogs will attend the event but wants to have 2 biscuits per dog plus an additional 35 dog biscuits. If d represents the number of dogs, which expression represents the number of dog biscuits Nicole will need for the event?

Answer:


2d+35

Explanation:

Let d represents the number of dogs that will attend the event.

She wants to have 2 biscuits per dog plus an additional 35 dog biscuits.

So, the expression that represents the number of dog biscuits Nicole will need for the event is :


2d+35

2d because 2 biscuits for each dog where 'd' is the number of dogs. And 35 is constant because she will be taking extra 35 with her.
