Answer 1

The answer is 2y + 5 to this question

Answer 2

2y+5

Explanation:

Lets start with an expression for how many yards Gary threw. Since y is the variable given in the problem, we'll use that.

Yards Gary threw = y

We also know that Pat threw 5 more than twice the yards Gary did. First, we multiply Gary's yards by 2, then add 5 more. We end up with the expression:

Yards Pat threw = 2y+5
