Question

11. Choose the right expression or equation that best represents the mathematical statement: ___________

Twice a number plus 6 is twelve.

A. 1/2 x + 6 = 12      B. 2x − 6 = 12     C. 2x + 6 = 12     D. 3x + 6 = 12

Answer 1

C is the correct answer for this given question.

Answer 2

Hey there!

`Twice: 2 \\ Number: x \\ plus: + \\ is: = (equal) \\ twelve: 12 \\ So, 2x + 6 = 12 (answer)`

It can't be:

•
`(1)/(2) x + 6 = 12` because, its not asking half of a number plus six is twelve

•
`2x -6 = 12` because its not asking twice a number minus six is twelve

•
`3x + 6 = 12` because its not asking three times a number plus 6 is twelve

(So,
`A,B,D` would most likely be incorrect since they aren't doing anything with the representation!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

◦ But the answer is:
`2x + 6 = 12 (B)` because it is stating what is representing in this equation sentence!

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
