Answer:
B) 33
Step-by-step explanation:
Jan starts out using 3 toothpicks to create Figure 1. She adds 4 toothpicks to create Figure 2 and adds another 4 toothpicks to create Figure 3. The equation for this question can be written as such:
3 + 2x = ? toothpicks
We will replace x with 15 because Figure 16 - Figure 1 is 15.
3 + (2 x 15) = ? toothpicks
2 multiplied by 15 is 30
3 + 30 = ? toothpicks
3 plus 30 is 33
The answer is B) 33
I hope that this helps :)
