Given the expression ‘6 more than twice a number’, what is the value of the expression if the number is equal to 5?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Expression: [tex]2x + 6[/tex]

Value of the expression when [tex]x = 5[/tex]: [tex]16[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first focus on the expression: '6 more than twice a number'. Twice a number is the same as saying two times a number. Let's have that number be represented by [tex]x[/tex]. Twice a number would mean [tex]2x[/tex], and 6 more than that would just be [tex]2x + 6[/tex].

We'll then plug in 5 for [tex]x[/tex] to get the value of the expressinn:

[tex]2(5) + 6 = 10 + 6 = 16[/tex]
