Answer 2

B. Two-thirds x + 17

Explanation:

Let

x = number of baseball cards his brother has

two-thirds of the number of cards in his brother's baseball card collection = 2/3x

Barry = 2/3x + 17

A. Two-thirds x minus 17

= 2/3x - 17

B. Two-thirds x + 17

= 2/3x + 17

C. 17 x minus two-thirds

= 17x - 2/3

D. 17 x + two-thirds

= 17x + 2/3

The correct answer is

B. Two-thirds x + 17
