Answer 2

Kim drives = x
Terry drives = 2x
Jerry drives = 6x

Let us go through our answer choices and choose one.

A is incorrect because we are not being asked to add anything.

B is incorrect because it equals what all of the drivers drive.

2(x+3)
2*x + 2*3
2x + 6x

C is incorrect because we are not being asked to subtract.

D is correct because Jerry drives 3 times as much as terry.

2x*3
6x
