Question

The product of a number, x, and 3 is six more than the product of the number and 2.

Which equation represents the situation? (50 points)


3x=6(x+2)

3x=6+2x

x3=6+x2

3+x=6x+2

Answer 1

• 3x = 6 + 2x

Explanation:

The word "product" defines multiplication between two numbers. Those numbers are x and 3. The word "is" defines the "equal sign". The word "more" defines addition. Now, using these definitions, let's create an equation.

• => (3 × x) = 6 + (2 × x)
• => 3x = 6 + 2x

Hence, Option C is correct.
