To write an expression representing how much money Bob has, we can start by noting that Bob has three times as much money as Sonya, minus $14.62.

Let's break it down step by step:

1. Sonya has X amount of money.
2. Bob has three times as much money as Sonya.
- This can be represented as 3X.
3. Bob has three times as much money as Sonya, minus $14.62.
- This can be represented as 3X - $14.62.

Therefore, the correct expression would be:
Bob's Money = 3X - $14.62

Now, let's substitute a value for X to find out how much money Bob has. If X = $7.31:
Bob's Money = 3($7.31) - $14.62
Bob's Money = $21.93 - $14.62
Bob's Money = $7.31

So, using the expression 3X - $14.62 with X = $7.31, Bob would have $7.31, not $7.31 as you mentioned in your question.
