Question

Erica adds 5 to the product of a number and 6, and gets 29 as the result.

Which expression can be used to determine the value of the number?

Question 3 of 5
A. 6 × 5 + n = 29
B. 6n + 5 = 29
C. 5n + 6 = 29
D. 5 + n + 6 = 29

Answer 1

Look at the question. Break it down into its components:

"Erica adds 5 to the product..."

This tells you that your equation is going to have some value "+5"

So what is that "value" to which you'll add 5?
Well, that value is "...the product of a number and 6"

This tells you that your equation will have 6 * some other number.

"...and gets 29 as the result"

this tells you that the right side of your equation will be "=29".

Glue these all together and you get:

6 * SomeNumber +5 =29

So....do any of your answers A to D bear a striking resemblance to that?
