Question

can you help me Translate the following phrases into algebraic expressions and Explain the difference between the two?

twice the sum of x and y: (x+y)x2
the sum of twice x and y

Answer 1

im stuck on the last problem

Answer 2

The sum of TWICE X ...... and y.

So you're only doubling the X, does that make sense? :)

Answer 3

Don't use X for multiplication, that's so confusing lol.

I think you did the first one correctly, just avoid using that multiply sign XD
(x+y)*2

Answer 4

haha okay

Answer 5

Still confused on the second one? :o
