Question

Translate the sentence into an equation
Twenty four plus two
times a number is 40.
How do you put that in equation for?

Answer 1

Answer:

24 + 2n = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be n , then two times the number is 2n

This is then added to 24 and equal to 40

24 + 2n = 40 ← in equation form

Answer 2

24 + 2(n) = 40
You could use any letter just n is preferable since something is absent and that thing is a number - so it starts with N. Good luck!
