a) 7e - 3
b) 3e + 7
c) 7e + 3
d) 3e - 7

Answer 1

The expression that represents the total number of marbles is 7e + 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression that represents the total number of marbles is 7e + 3.

Here's how you can figure it out:

1. If Jerry puts e marbles in each bag, then the number of marbles in each bag is e.

2. Since there are 7 bags, the total number of marbles is 7 * e.

3. But there are also 3 marbles left over, which means the total number of marbles is 7 * e + 3.
