Question

Write an expression to represent: Three more than the product of two and a number x.

Answer 1

Lets break this down:

“Three more” means +3. Imagine you have 2 apples, and I have 3 more than you. I have 5 apples then, right?

“Product” — the product of 2 and 1 is 2. The product of 3 and 5 is 15. So: the product is the result of multiplication. Thus, “the product of two and x” would mean we have to multiply 2 and x.

So lets combine these: “2*x+3” would be your answer, or if you want, shorten the “2*x” to just “2x”.

Answer 2

Answer:

2x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

product means to multiply, hence

the product of 2 and a number x = 2 × x = 2x

3 more than means add on 3, thus

expression is 2x + 3
