Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jose received 135 more votes than Angela, which means his number of votes is equal to Angela's number of votes (x) plus 135. This can be expressed as (x + 135), which matches option D. If Angela received x votes, then Jose received 135 more votes, which can be expressed as x + 135. Therefore, the algebraic expression for the number of votes Jose received is (x + 135)votes, which corresponds to choice D.
