Answer 1

The equation 6 + 2n = 16 is solved by subtracting 6 and dividing by 2 to find n = 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence "six more than twice a number is 16" can be translated into the equation: 6 + 2n = 16, where n represents the unknown number. To solve the equation, we need to isolate the variable n on one side. First, subtract 6 from both sides of the equation: 2n = 10. Then, divide both sides by 2: n = 5.
