The number of candies in each compartment of a box was two more than the number of compartments in each box. The expression below shows the total number of candies that Jake packed in all the boxes:

x(x + 3)(x + 5)

How can the total number of compartments in all the boxes combined be calculated?

By adding (x + 3) and (x + 2)

By adding (x + 3) and (x + 5)

By multiplying x and (x + 5)

What do you think the answer could be?

Answer 8

I agree

Answer 9

I would say By multiplying x and (x + 3) because it states
The number of compartments in each gift box was three more than the number of boxes

x is the number of boxes and (x + 3) is three more so x times (x + 3) will give you the compartments
