Okay so, it would be

2*j+3 = m
( jake's age times 2 in order to represent being 2 years older, however... Mindy is 3 more years old than the product of that expression. This would add 3.) 

So, C? m = 2j + 3

Answer:

m = 2j + 3

c is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let j represent jake’s age and m represent mindy's age.

Mindy is 3 years older than two times her brother Jake’s age.

"m is 3 more than 2 times j"

  • 2 times j = 2j
  • 3 more than 2j = 2j + 3

Now we write as equation.

m = 2j + 3

Hence, The equation which represents Mindy's age is m = 2j + 3
