Use the variable

Answer 1

Translated from words to variables and numbers, the "sum of" means you are adding, the word "of" means you are multiplying, "twice a number" means you are multiplying by 2. this is an expression so there is no equals sign. but for later, the word "is" indicates an equals sign.

Answer 2

The sum of 24 and twice a number tells you you are adding 24 to twice a number. How does that translate into variables and numbers? Do you know?

Answer 3

2x+24
