Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

6(N + 12) = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Number = N

Sum of a number and twelve:

N + 12

Six times the sum of a number and twelve:

6(N + 12)

Six times the sum of a number and twelve is forty:

6(N + 12) = 40

Answer 2

Answer:

6(N+12) = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement says six times the sum . . .

From this we can tell that the answer will be 6 times two numbers added together. Those two numbers are "a number" (some variable) and 12.

We can tell that the variable is N, so it answer must be 6(N + 12) = 40
