Question

Twice a number increased by seven is equal to five what is the statement

Answer 1

Can you write your question, in numbers in variables (in other words as a normal equation) ?

Answer 2

I've seen these type of questions, I think it's actually asking you what is the equation written in numerical form.

Answer 3

2 n + 7 = 5; n = -4.5
2 n = 7 + 5; n = 6
2( n + 7) = 5; n = -4.5
2 n + 7 = 5; n = -1
Twice a number increased by seven is equal to five. Which of the following represents the equation and solution for this statement?

Answer 4

When sentences like these say "a number," that's going to be a variable.
Now try to work it out. Let's say this "number" is 3. What is twice of 3?

Answer 5

9.

Answer 6

Not quite

Answer 7

6 i mean

Answer 8

Correct, so in this case, "twice" means that you're multiplying.
So "twice" a "number" is...?

Answer 9

i got it thank you!!!!!!!

Answer 10

Okay, I will do this nice and quick.
Twice a number means that the number is being multiplied by 2.
So that's going to be 2n.

Then, it's increased by 7, so that's addition.
So that's going to be 2n + 7.

And then it's equal to 5. That should be pretty self-explanatory.

So you're equation is 2n + 7 = 5.

You're welcome :)
