The sum of two numbers is 15. Using x to represent the smaller of the two numbers, translate "the sum of twice the smaller numbe r and two more than the larger num ber" into a variable expression. Then simplify.
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: Let x be the smaller and y be the largest number.
Since x+y=13, we deduce y=13-x
Now, for the translation: "two more than the larger number" is y+2 , while "twice the smaller" is 2x
Their sum is y+2+2x
And since we know that y=13-x, we have y+2+2x=13-x+2+2=15+x

Answer: B. 11 </h3>
An exponential has the base at the bottom, or the lower portion. Think of "basement" to help remember this. The exponent is the number up top, so 12 is the exponent.
