You've got them all right,

anonymous · Answer

I need help with part B and C

anonymous · Answer

part B twice the sum you got that right, the sum of twice x and y...for that you double the integers you have so double x and double y then add it together, 2x+2y
then just describe what you see from 2(x+y) and 2x+2y

anonymous · Answer

For C just think of a regular situation like a postman delivering mail or something you normally see in any math question. Then make it into an algebraic equation

anonymous · Answer

Can you give me an example for part C?
