b.x = 2x 6
c.x=6x−2x=6x−2
d.x = 6x 2

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure the answer is d.

Answer 2

`a.x=6(x-2)`

Explanation:

We are given that

Mark's age=x

2 years ago,

Mark's age=x-2

We have to find the equation that represents the statement.

According to question

6 times his 2 years ago

Then , we get

`6(x-2)`

According to question

`x=6(x-2)`

Hence, option a is true.

Answer:
`a.x=6(x-2)`
