Answer 1

Answer:

$T= 8p+1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :Lauryn grew p tomato plants. Padma grew 5 fewer than 3 times the number Lauryn grew. Kent grew 6 more than 4 times the number Lauryn grew.

To Find: a simplified expression to represent the total number of tomato plants that Lauryn, Padma, and Kent grew.

Solution :

Let total number of tomatoe plants be T

Since we are given that Lauryn grew tomato plants = p

We are also given that Padma grew 5 fewer than 3 times the number Lauryn grew.

⇒ $3p-5$

We are also given that  Kent grew 6 more than 4 times the number Lauryn grew.

⇒ $4p+6$

So, total number of tomato plants :

⇒ $T= p+3p-5+4p+6$

⇒ $T= 8p+1$

Hence  a simplified expression to represent the total number of tomato plants that Lauryn, Padma, and Kent grew is $T= 8p+1$
