Question

If Ben has 4 more than twice as many stamps as Jake, which of the following expressions shows the number of stamps Ben has?


4s + 2, where s is the number of stamps Jake has
4s + 2, where s is the number of stamps Ben has
2s + 4, where s is the number of stamps Jake has
2s + 4, where s is the number of stamps Ben has

Answer 1

first of all 4 more than twice means 2s+4
the answer is C
2s+4 where s is the number of stamps jake has

Answer 2

Let's solve step by step

Step 1: Underline the important words, the words I underlined are below:
4 more 
twice as many

Step 2: Write the equation out using underlined words
4 more = + 4
twice = 2
as many = 2s

Step 3: Put it all together
Now that we know what everything means we can just put it all together
2s + 4 is the same as 4 more than twice as many

Therefore your answer would be C 2s + 4, where s is the number of stamps jake has.
