Final answer:

Bob collects 3 more than 4 times the number of seashells Taila collects, represented by x. Therefore, the expression representing the number of seashells Bob collects is 4x + 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to express the number of seashells Bob collects in terms of the seashells Taila collects which is represented by x. According to the information provided, Bob collects 3 more than 4 times the number of seashells Taila collects. Therefore, we can create an expression to represent the number of seashells that Bob collects:

Bob's seashells = 4 × Taila's seashells + 3

Since Taila's seashells are represented by x, we can replace 'Taila's seashells' with x:

Bob's seashells = 4 × x + 3

So, the expression that represents the number of seashells Bob collects is 4x + 3.
