Question

Which equation can be used to represent “six added to twice the sum of a number and four is equal to one-half of the difference of three and the number”?

6 + 2(x + 4) = (3 – x)
6 + 2(x + 4) = (x – 3)
(6 + 2)(x + 4) = (3 – x)
(6 + 2)(x + 4) = (x – 3)

Answer 1

A) 6 + 2(x + 4) = 1/2(3 – x)

Answer 2

First the left side of an equation:"six added to twice the sum of a number and four": ( x - a number )
6 + 2 ( x + 4 )Then the right side:"one half of a difference of three and a number":1/2 ( 3 - x )And the solution:A ) 6 + 2 ( x + 4 ) = 1/2 ( 3 - x )
