Question

Type the expression that results from the following series of steps: Start with t, add 6, multiply by 2, then subtract 5.

Answer 1

2(t + 6) - 5

Explanation:

If we are strictly following the directions, we first add t and 6 together:

t + 6

Then we multiply by 2 AFTER we add the 2 together:

(t + 6)2

At last, we subtract 5 from everything after:

2(t + 6) - 5

And we have our answer!

Answer 2

2(t+6)-5

Explanation:

The unknown number is t

=> Adding 6 will make it t+6

=> Multiplying by 2 will make it 2(t+6)

=> Subtracting 5 will make it 2(t+6)-5
