Nando has 4 goldfish. Jill has 3 goldfish. Cooper has 2 times as many goldfish as Nando and Jill combined. Write an equation that compares the number of goldfish Cooper has with the number of goldfish that Nando and Jill have.
C= 2(4 + 3)
this might be too complicated but C (Cooper's goldfish) equals 2 times 4 + 3
Answer: \(c=2(4+3)\)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Nando has 4 goldfish. Jill has 3 goldfish. Cooper has 2 times as many goldfish as Nando and Jill combined.
i.e. Number of goldfish Cooper has = \(2(4+3)\)
To write the equation that compares the number of goldfish Cooper has with the number of goldfish that Nando and Jill have , we denote the number of goldfish Cooper has as "c", we get
\(c=2(4+3)\)
Hence, the required equation : \(c=2(4+3)\)
