Question

Write an algebraic equation for the following. The sum of twice a and four times y is equal to thirteen.
	A.	a + y = 13
	B.	2a - 4y = 13
	C.	2a(4y) = 13
	D.	2a + 4y = 13

phi · Answer

sum of twice a and four times y is equal to thirteen.
sum means  +
twice a  means   2 times a  or 2a
four times y  means  (let me think)  four times y  or 4y
is equal   means =
thirteen means 13
so,  + 2a 4y = 13   but we would put the + sign between 2a and 4y
2a+4y = 13

because order doesn't matter, the answer might also be
4y+2a= 13
