Sam and her brother Nate are collecting stamps together. Nate has collected 5 more than twice the number of stamps Sam has collected. In total they have 26 stamps. Let n be the number of stamps that Sam has collected. Which of the following equations models this situation?
1. 2n+5=26
2. n+2n+5=26
3. 2n+5-n=26
4. n+2(n+5)= 26

Respuesta :

Answer:

2. n(2n+5)=26.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Sam has n stamps, and Nate has 5 more than twice that amount, the equation would be: 2. n(2n+5)=26.
