Verified Answer :

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.
