Answer:

  C.  j +2j + 3(2j) = 175

Step-by-step explanation:

Let j represent the amount of money Jim has.

Carroll has twice that amount, so has 2j.

Mike has 3 times the amount Carroll has, so has 3(2j).

The sum of these quantities is 175, so the equation can be written ...

  j + 2j + 3(2j) = 175 . . . . . matches choice C
