4f +3

Explanation:

Given that, the number of feet Jeff can throw the baseball be f
Nick can throw a baseball three more than 4 times the number of feet.
4 times the number of feet = 4f
and three more than this will be 4f+3

If the number of times Nick can throw the baseball is given by x,

then,

The expression that can be used to find the number of feet that Nick can throw the ball will be:

x = 4f +3
