Mallory is 2 years older than three times her brother Jake’s age. Let j represent Jake’s age.

Which expression represents Mallory’s age?


2j + 3


3j + 2


j + 2


3(j+2)

Answer 1

i think it's the 2nd one. because mallory is 2 years older than three times. so the j would be attached to the 3.

Answer 2

So it is 3j + 2
