Answer:
2(4+x)
Step-by-step explanation:
"Twice the sum of" tells us it will be the equation times two
"the sum of four and a number" is easy, thats 4 + x
The second number is x because the number is not specified so we need a place holder, x in this case, to tell us that the number is not given.
All this put together = twice the sum of four and a number, or <u>2(4+x)</u>
So you would multiply the length times width!
Plug in numbers in for x.
If you plug in 0 then you get 1. 1/0 is undefined
If you plug in 1 then you get 6. 6/1 is 6
If you plug in 2 then you get 11. 11/2 is 5.5
If you plug in 3 then you get 16. 16/3 is 5.3 repeating
If you plug in 4 then you get 21. 21/4 is 5.25
If you plug in 5 then you get 26. 26/5 is 5.2
It would only be proportional if you got the same answer after dividing each time.
C. X= 18
ex:
4x-7=7x-61
(They equal eachother)
you solve and get 18
