k+2e+2

k+e=56

Answer 3

k + e = 56 right..

Suppose Kiara has k awards and Elizabeth has e awards then:

Kiara had = 2 more than twice the Elizabeth had

ie k = 2 + 2e

You have written + there by mistake I think.. :)

Answer 11

First one simply..

Kiara had two more than..........................................

Here you can say "had" =:

S0 Kiara = 2 more than (+) twice(2*) the Elizabeth (e)

So k = 2 + 2e

Answer 12

If as an example, e has 4 awards, then Kiara had 2 more than twice of 4:

ie k = 2 + 2(4) = 2 + 8 = 10
