Question

Which of the following could be a real-world description of 2x ?

10

A. The cost of a pizza split by 10 people plus a 2$ tip

B. The cost of a pizza plus a 2$ tip divided by 10 people

C. The cost per pizza for 10 pizzas divided by 2 people

D. The cost per pizza for 2 pizzas divided by 10 people

Answer 1

Explanation:

it is not clear what you mean by 2x ? 10.

I assume you mean 2x / 10 (divided).

in any case, D is the only answer that makes sense with a "2x" term.

x would then stand for the price of a single pizza.

2x is then the price for 2 pizzas.

2x / 10 is then the share of the costs of the 2 pizzas per person, if there are 10 people sharing (the costs are evenly split among 10 parties).
