Question

Brenda walked a distance represented by the expression 5(2y + 4). It is 5 times the

distance John walked. Interpret the expression 2y + 4 and identify the correct choice.

Answer 1

• Option D

Explanation:

Let the distance Brenda walked is B and distance John walked is J.

We have

• B = 5J

and

• B = 5(2y + 4)

Comparing the two equations we see

• J = 2y + 4

It means 2y + 4 is the distance walked by John

Correct answer choice is D
