Question

Which equation can be used to represent "six added to twice the sum of a number and four is equal to one-half of the difference of three and the number”?

6 + 2(x + 4) = 6 plus 2 left-parenthesis x plus 4 right parenthesis equals StartFraction one-half EndFraction left-parenthesis 3 minus x right-parenthesis.(3 – x)
6 + 2(x + 4) = 6 plus 2 left-parenthesis x plus 4 right parenthesis equals StartFraction one-half EndFraction left-parenthesis x minus 3 right-parenthesis.(x – 3)
(6 + 2)(x + 4) = left-parenthesis 6 plus 2 right-parenthesis left-parenthesis x plus 4 right parenthesis equals StartFraction one-half EndFraction left-parenthesis 3 minus x right-parenthesis.(3 – x)
(6 + 2)(x + 4) = left-parenthesis 6 plus 2 right-parenthesis left-parenthesis x plus 4 right parenthesis equals StartFraction one-half EndFraction left-parenthesis x minus 3 right-parenthesis.(x – 3)

Answer 1

A: 6 + 2(x + 4) = 1/2(3 - x)
