Enrique collected 7 more than 2 times as many recyclable bottles, b, as Natasha collected. Write an expression for the number of bottles Enrique collected in all.
an expression for the # of bottles enrique collected in all would be 2b+7
Answer:
\(2b+7\).
Step-by-step explanation:
Let b represent number of recyclable bottles collected by Natasha.
We have been given that Enrique collected 7 more than 2 times as many recyclable bottles, b, as, Natasha collected.
2 times as many recyclable bottles as Natasha collected would be \(2b\).
7 more than 2 times as many recyclable bottles as Natasha collected would be \(2b+7\).
Therefore, the expression \(2b+7\) represents the number of bottles Enrique collected in all.
