Question

Sameer has some bananas, Rohan has 7 more than Sameer. Manshi says that she has 6 more bananas than the number of bananas Sameer and Rohan have together. How many bananas does Manshi have?

• A. $x+13$
• B. $2x+13$
• C. $x+7$
• D. $2x+7$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $2x+13$

Let the number of bananas Sameer has be $x.$
So, the number of bananas Rohan has will be $x+7.$
Manshi has 6 more bananas than those Sameer and Rohan have together.
Number of bananas that Sameer and Rohan have,
=$x+(x+7)$
$\therefore$ Number of bananas Manshi has
= $x+(x+7)+6$
Grouping the like terms, we get the expression $2x+13.$
Thus, the number of bananas Manshi has is $2x+13.$
