Question

Fanslate the following into algebra:

Eight
more than six times a number is
equal to twenty.

Answer 1

Answer: Translates to 6x + 8 = 20

Explanation: "More than" means addition, meaning that there will be eight MORE than six, hence 6x + 8.

It then says "a number," but we don't know that number, therefore put variable x in place.

Finally, it says "is equal to twenty" so we put everything we got together and make 6x + 8 = 20.
