Shaun and Trudy are selling raffle tickets. So far, Shaun has sold x tickets. Trudy has sold 3 more tickets than half the number of tickets that Shaun sold. Which expression represents the number of raffle tickets that Shaun and Trudy have sold altogether? A) 1/2x+3 B)x+3 C)3/2x+3 D)2/2x+3 I need some help understanding what it is asking that's it!

NLEChoppa25:

I'm not really good in math no more but I believe its asking you to find the x and try to found out how they sold together

It’s asking to find the expression that represents how many tickets were sold by Shaun and Trudy combined. Shaun sold “x” tickets Trudy sold 3 more tickets than half the number of tickets that Shaun sold (so if Shaun sold x tickets, how many tickets did Trudy sell in terms of x?) Once you have Trudy’s expression in terms of x, add Shaun and Trudy’s tickets together, combine like terms, and see which answer choice matches your result.
