Question

2. Translate the following equation into a verbal sentence. x + 5 = 2(7 + x)

Answer 1

Answer:

G

Step-by-step explanation:

Some points to note

• "is" means equal
• "times" means multiplication
• "quotient" means division
• "sum" is addition

Now, let's look at the left side of the equation.

It is "x + 5"

This means the sum of the number x and 5, or the number x plus 5

It eliminates F and J

Now, let's look at right side of equation.

It is "2(7+x)"

"7+x" is in brackets, so this is the sum of 7 and x. Then it is multiplied by 2. Thus, we can say:

"2 times the sum of 7 and x"

From the choices G and H left, we select G to be correct.
