reset selection

Explanation:

To find the number of trading cards Billy has, we start with Kevin's number of cards (17) and add the number of extra cards Billy has (t). So the expression is \( 17 + t \) (which is the same as \( t + 17 \)). Option A subtracts 17 from t, which is incorrect. Option B subtracts t from 17, which is also incorrect. Option D is just t, which doesn't account for Kevin's 17 cards.

Answer:

C. \( t + 17 \)
