The statements that represent the expression 2(d-6) are:
B. The difference of d and 6, times 2.
E. The product of 2 and d, minus 6.
Here's a breakdown of the statements and which ones represent the expression 2(d-6):
A. The sum of 2 and d minus 6.
This translates to (2 + d) - 6, not 2(d - 6).
B. The difference of d and 6, times 2.
This is the correct translation of 2(d - 6), where d - 6 is the difference and is then multiplied by 2.
C. 6 taken from d, doubled.
This translates to d - (2 * 6), not 2(d - 6).
D. d less than 6, multiplied by 2.
This statement is not clear and could be interpreted in different ways. It does not accurately represent 2(d - 6).
E. The product of 2 and d, minus 6.
This translates to 2 * d - 6, which is the same as 2(d - 6).
