Question

Danielle sold a certain number of tickets to the school play, d. Sara sold 4 more tickets to the school play than the number Danielle sold. Brett sold 3 times as many as Danielle sold. The number of tickets that the 3 students sold altogether can be represented by the expression below. d+d+4+3d

Answer 1

Answer:

5d+4

Step-by-step 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
