A sports tournament has d teams. Each team has 6 players. Using d , write an expression for the total number of players in the tournament.

Question

hel asap please!

Answer 1

Kiaa, a variable is a filler for an unknown number. Don't let it confuse you too much!

 

If there were 5 teams, there would be 6(5) = 30 players, right??

 

With d teams, there are 6d players. We are lazy as mathematicians and don't say 6(d) or 6 x d. It's just 6d.

 

Hope this helps!
