Question

Ryan has $12 more than three times Dale's amount in his saving account. Dale has p dollars.

Which equation can be used to find Ryan's amount, m, in dollars?

Question 8 options:

m=12p−3


m=3p−12


m=3p+12


m=12p+3

Answer 1

m = 3p + 12

Explanation:

p - Dylan's dollars

3p + 12 - Ryan's dollars

$12 more (+ 12)

three times Dale's dollars (3p)

The equation

m = 3p + 12

Answer 2

Answer: m = 3p + 12

Explanation:

Dale has p dollars, and Ryan has $12 more than three times that of Dale's

So Ryan's amount will be 3p + 12
