Question

1 point Dan's basketball coaches have set up the following schedule for practice: 10 minutes warm-up and stretching; 15 minutes of defensive drills; 10 minutes of passing drills; 20 minutes of shooting practice; and x minutes of time to scrimmage. Which expression(s) represent the amount of time Dan will practice each week if they practice 3 days per week? *

(a)10+15+10+20+X
(b) 3(10+15+10+20+x)
(c)3(55+x)
(d)165+x
(e)165+3x
(f)168x​

Answer 1

The answer is (e)

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that the total time for one practice is (10+15+10+20+x). You can simplify that by adding like terms to get (55+x). You need that amount multiplied by three because he has 3 practices a week. so therefore you get 3(55+x). You distribute that three to both terms to get the simplest form which is 165 + 3x.
