There were p people on michelle's hockey team. five new people joined the team. which expression represents how many people are on the hockey team now?

a. p – 5
b.
c. 5p
d. p + 5

The Answer is LETTER D

Reasoning:

so lets make up a number to represent P: howabout ten. and p is the original amount of people in the hockey team, so lets just say that there are ten people there right now. and if five people joined, it would ADD ( + ) five people to the team. so it would be the Original 10 + 5, just replace the ten with P, and you get P + 5

In all honesty, there really is no “work” per say to show. mainly it’s just using the process of elimination. the question is asking which domain(s) would be the most appropriate for the function c(n). n is the number of observed vehicles so right away, 1, 2, and 3 can be eliminated.why? 1, 2 start in the negatives and therefore it is impossible to observe negative cars. so, #4 would be the best answer to the given problem.
