Question

Latonya bought flowers for her mother. She spent $45. Each tulip was $1 and each rose was $2. She bought 3 more tulips than roses.

Let t be the number of tulips. Which algebraic sentence would help you figure out how many tulips Latonya bought?
t + 2(t + 3) = 45
t + 2(t – 3) = 45
2t (t + 3) = 45
-3t + 2t = 45
