B
C
2 more than the quotient of 3 and k
2 more than 3 more than k
D 2 more than 3 times k

Answer 1

The correct description for the expression 3k + 2 is '2 more than 3 times k'. Options A, B, and C do not correctly describe the expression.

Step-by-step explanation:

The phrase that is a description of 3k + 2 is D) 2 more than 3 times k. Option A) suggests an addition before multiplication, which isn't the case here. Option B) describes a situation where 2 is added to a quotient, which again does not match our expression. Option C) mentions '3 more than k', which does not correctly represent multiplication by 3, and then adding 2. Therefore, the correct phrase is Option D) where '2 more' indicates addition and '3 times k' indicates the multiplication of 3 and k.
