Betty’s herb garden has 2 more than twice as many oregano plants as basil. If there are 5 basil plants, what is the total number of plants in the garden?
Two more than twice as many oregano plants as basil translates to 2 + 2*5 = <<2+2*5=12>>12 oregano plants
All together, Betty’s herb garden has 12 + 5 = <<12+5=17>>17 plants.
