On Sunday, the bookstore sold 2 more books than on Saturday.
Which expression represents the total number of books sold over the weekend?


a. 2x
b. x+2
c. 2x+2
d. 2(x+2)

Respuesta :

C. 2x+2

Sorry, read the question wrong!

x = books were sold on Saturday.

Because 2 more books were sold on Sunday than on Saturday, therefore

(x + 2) books were sold on Sunday.

The total number of books sold over the weekend (Saturday and Sunday) is

x + (x+2)

= x + x + 2

= 2x + 2

Answer: 2x + 2
