Question

translate this phrase into an algebraic expression.
17 more than twice craigs savings
use the variable c to represent craigs savings.

Explanation:

Step1: Define twice Craig's savings

Twice Craig's savings means multiplying his savings (represented by \( c \)) by 2. So, twice Craig's savings is \( 2c \).

Step2: Add 17 to twice Craig's savings

"17 more than" means we add 17 to the value we got in Step 1. So, we add 17 to \( 2c \), which gives \( 2c + 17 \).

Answer:

\( 2c + 17 \)
