Problema Solution
the cost of purchasing a fishing rod and reel if the rod costs $7 more than twice the cost of the reel
Answer provided by our tutors
The problem statement is ambiguous... it appears to require translating the statement into an algebraic expression.
Let 'r' represent the cost of a rod, then '2r+7' represents the cost of a reel since it is $7 more than the double for a rod.
The cost of purchasing both a rod and reel could be expressed as:
r+(2r+7)
