Question

matthew’s age (m) is three years more than twice rita’s age (r). which equation shows the relationship between their ages? a. $m = \frac{r - 3}{2}$ b. $m = \frac{r + 3}{2}$ c. $m = 2(r + 3)$ d. $m = 2r - 3$ e. $m = 2r + 3$

Explanation:

Step1: Translate the description into math

Matthew's age $m$ is three years more than twice Rita's age $r$. Twice Rita's age is $2r$, and three years more than that is $2r + 3$.
So the equation is $m=2r + 3$.

Answer:

E. $m = 2r+3$
