Part A You will be given a scenario. ​Find the algebraic expression that could represent that scenario. ​ ​Levi had a apples and then Lydia gave him 3 more. ​ ​Lauren had 3 times the number of apples that Levi had. ​ Levi had a apples and then he lost 3 of them on the way home. ​ ​The product of a and 3. ​

Respuesta :

Part A:

The number of apples Levi has  = (a +3)

The number of apple Lauren  has = 3 (a + 3)

Part B:

The number of apples Levi has  = (a -3)

The product of a and 3 = 3 a

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

Here, the number of apples Levi initially had  = a

The number of apples given by Lydia  = 3

So, now the number of apples Levi has  = (a +3)

Now, the number of apple Lauren  has  = 3 x (number of apples Levi had)  

= 3 (a + 3)

Part B

Here, the number of apples Levi initially had  = a

The number of apples lost by Levi  = 3

So, now the number of apples Levi has  = (a - 3)

The product of a and 3 is 3 x a  = 3 a
