Question

Joe has 5 more than twice as many calculators as John. Write an algebraic expression. *

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 5 + 2p

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's simplify the problem:

Joe has 5 + more than 2(P) as many calculators as John.

*We'll be using Addition and Multiplication operations.

If Joe has 5 more than 2 times the amount of calculators, the algebraic expression will be:

$5 + 2p$

p represents John's amount of calculators.

5 + (5 more than) 2(P) Twice the amount of calculators John has.
