Question

Connie owns x books. Her friend Alma owns

7 more than 2 times the number Connie
owns. So Alma owns 2x + 7 books.
If x is 16, what is 2x + 7?
Enter the correct answer.

Answer 1

39 books

Explanation:

Solve the equation in order of PEMDAS (parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction)

2(16) + 7

Multiply 2(16) first.

2(16) = 32

Then add 7.

32 + 7 = 39
