so i believe this is saying 2n + 12 = 26.

Answer 2

try plugging in 6 to this equation...
2 x 6 + 12 = 24?
is this equation right?

Answer 3

It's not one of the options.

Answer 4

No. @undeadknight27 you are partially incorrect.
\[2n+12\le24\]

Answer 5

oh lol...i forgot the sign...

Answer 6

You know this because it says "no greater than 24"

Answer 7

@bwright12 You also know that it is "2n" because it is "twice a number". So basically, the unknown number, n, is being multiplied by two. And the sum means addition. And "is" usually means =.
