Let x be the unknown quantity. Now follow the instructions in the assignment. What were your answers and how did you think about them?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let the quantity be \(x\)..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

'times' mean multiplication..

So, 6 times a quantity means : \(6 \times x = 6x\)

This added to four means : \((6x) + 4 \implies 6x + 4\)
