Answer:
5d+4
Explanation:
Number of ticket sold by Daniel = d .... 1
If Sara sold 4 more tickets to the school play than the number Danielle sold, the total number sold by Sarah is expressed as d+4 .... 2
If Brett sold 3 times as many as Danielle sold, the amount sold by Brett is 3×d = 3d ..... 3
The number of tickets that the 3 students sold altogether can be gotten by adding equation 1, 2 and 3 together as shown;
d+(d+4)+3d
Collect like terms
= d+d+3d+4
= 2d+3d+4
= 5d+4
Hence the number of tickets that the 3 students sold altogether is represented as 5d+4
