Question

- Margo and Jeremy each have x baseball cards. They put some of their baseball cards in onealbum. Then, a friend gave them 8 more baseball cards to complete the album. Margo andJeremy then filled two more albums with the same number of baseball cards as in the firstalbum. Which expression best represents the total number of baseball cards in all threealbums?A. 2(2x) + 8B. 3(2x) + 8C. 2(2x + 8)D. 3(2x + 8)

Answer 1

Assume that Margo and Jermrmy filled x cards . Therefore, the total number of cards is 2x.

Adding 8 more cards to this album implies,

`T=2x+8`

The other two alumbs have same number of cards as in first album. Thus, the total number of cards in all three albums are,

`T=3(2x+8)`

Hence, Option D is right.
