11. Choose the right expression or equation that best represents the mathematical statement: ___________

Twice a number plus 6 is twelve.

A. 1/2 x + 6 = 12      B. 2x − 6 = 12     C. 2x + 6 = 12     D. 3x + 6 = 12      

Respuesta :

C is the correct answer for this given question.

Hey there!

[tex] Twice: 2 \\ Number: x \\ plus: + \\ is: = (equal) \\ twelve: 12 \\ So, 2x + 6 = 12 (answer) [/tex]

It can't be:

• [tex] \frac{1}{2} x + 6 = 12 [/tex] because, its not asking half of a number plus six is twelve

• [tex] 2x -6 = 12 [/tex] because its not asking twice a number minus six is twelve

• [tex] 3x + 6 = 12 [/tex] because its not asking three times a number plus 6 is twelve

(So, [tex] A,B,D [/tex] would most likely be incorrect since they aren't doing anything with the representation!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

◦ But the answer is: [tex] 2x + 6 = 12 (B) [/tex] because it is stating what is representing in this equation sentence!

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
