Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a=2d+3

b=3d-12

c=a+b so

c=2d+3+3d-12

c=5d-9

Answer:

2d + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Dylan’s weight is d.

Twice Dylan’s weight is 2d.

Three pounds more than twice Dylan’s weight is 2d + 3.

So, the expression for Alan’s weight in terms of Dylan’s weight is 2d + 3.
