The answer is 2c + 5, where C is the number of candies Katie has, because you want twice the amount of Katie's candies, which is 2c, and then 5 more than that, which is the + 5. I hope this helps!

Answer:

The correct option is:   2c + 5, where c is the number of candies Katie has.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of candies Katie has [tex]=c[/tex]

Maya has 5 more than twice as many candies as Katie.

So, "twice as many candies as Katie" means "twice of [tex]c[/tex]" [tex]=2c[/tex]

Now, 5 more than that [tex]2c[/tex] [tex]= 2c+5[/tex]

Thus, the expression that shows the number of candies Maya has will be: [tex]2c+5[/tex]
