IF you want to turn it into a question, add:
How many paper boxes is he selling?

Six more than: 6 + or + 6
twice a number: let n represent the unknown number: 2n
6 + 2n = 16
So, the answer is either c or d
So, solve the equation
Subtract 6 on both sides of the equation
2n=10
Divide by 2 on both sides of the equation
n=5
So, the answer is C
3x−2y=12;−3x+8y=−6
Step: Solve3x−2y=12for x:
3x−2y=12
3x−2y+2y=12+2y(Add 2y to both sides)
3x=2y+12
3x
