Question

Six times the sum of a number and twelve is forty. Which equation represents the statement above? 6N + 12N = 40 6N + 12 = 40 6(N + 12) = 40

Answer 1

The answer is 6(N+12)
This is because it is telling you that the equation is six times a SUM of a number and twelve. So the number and 12 added together are multiplied by 6.

Answer 2

6(N + 12) = 40

let the number be N then add 12 and multiply by 6 is 6( N + 12 )

6(N + 12) is forty means 6(N + 12 )= 40
