Question

Which equation represents the sentence, "Three times the number m plus twice the quantity n plus 5 is equal to 20"?

Answer 1

Answer: Option 'D' is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

"Three times the number m plus twice the quantity n plus 5 is equal to 20"

So, Equation becomes

$3m+2(n+5)=20$

As it is said that

three times the number m i.e.

$3m$

twice the quantity n plus 5 i.e.

$2(n+5)$

Plus both the quantity i.e.

$3m+2(n+5)$

and make them equal to 20 i.e.

$3m+2(n+5)=20$

Hence, Option 'D' is correct.
