If we break the answer down, we can solve this pretty easily.
We can represent Dic's age with x.
Tom's age is 5 MORE (+5) than TWICE (2x) Dic's age (x)
Therefore, our answer is 5+2x (Five more than twice Dic's age)
The correct answer is C: 5+2x
81,149, 274.... adding three numbers from the last would help you
like if you take 7 = 4 + 2 +1
or 13 = 7 + 4 +2
similarly 44+24+13 = 81
81+44 +24 = 149
149 + 81 +44 = 274
hope you get it!
Answer:
- Collect like terms and simplify
