Tate would have pennies shown in the equation 2x + 5. If Mia has x pennies and Tate has 5 more than twice as many pennies, we can use these phrases to substitute into an equation. The "twice as many pennies" shows that the equation would include 2x, as Tate has double what she has, and the phrase "has 5 more" show that addition would be needed on +5, making the equation 2x + 5 showing the amount of pennies Tate has from a variable "x" of Mia's pennies.
