Greg worked 36 hours this week. This is 3 more than twice the number of hours Darryl worked. Which equation could you use to find how many hours Darryl worked? a. 36=2x + 3 b. 36 = 2x - 3 c. 36=2(x+3) or d. 36=3(x+2)

Let x be the number of hours that Darryl worked. Now read the problem again, paying attention to "more" and "twice"
