Answer 1

ANSWER

The correct answer is D.


Step-by-step explanation

The given equation is

`6(x + 3) = 42.`

Let us tackle the one in the bracket first,which is

`x + 3`

We can write this in words as the sum of a number and 3.

`6(x + 3)`
becomes, 6 times the sum of a number and 3.

Finally the complete equation,


`6(x + 3) = 42`

becomes;

Six times the sum of a number and 3 is 42.


Therefore the correct answer is option D.
