Question

Pls translate the verbal phrase into an algebraic expression

Answer 1

Okay. So we are talking of twice the sum of 13 and x, which signals the distributive property. The sum means add. It is not greater than 15, so it can be less than or equal to, but not greater. Based off the problem, the expression would be 2(13 + x) ≤ 15.

Answer 2

2(13+x) < or equate to 15
