Question

Tim has X beads

Amy has 2 more beads than Tim
Sarah has 5 times as many beads as Amy
How many beads does Sarah have?

Answer 1

Tim x Amy x+2 Sarah 5(x+2)
So Sarah has 5(x+2) which simplified is 5x+10

Answer 2

5x + 10

Explanation:

Amy has 2 more beads than Tim, x, so she has x + 2 beads.

Sarah has 5 times more beads than Amy, so 5(x + 2). Simplifying this, we get 5x + 10

Sarah has 5x + 10 beads
