Question

Amy and Stephanie were playing a number game. Amy picked a number and told Stephanie that if she added 8 to the number and multiplied the sum by 2, it would equal 6. Which equation could Stephanie use to find the number, x?

Answer 1

Okay let me assume the number picked by Amy be 'x'. Cool?
So, when Steph adds 8 to it, and then multiplies the whole thing by 2, what would it look like?

And idk how to write equations

Answer 15

Haven't you learned it?

Answer 16

Then how will you solve this question :-(

Answer 17

nope

Answer 18

8(x + 2) = 6 i think this is it.

Answer 19

Nerps, You need to first add 8 to x,

Step1: 8+x

Answer 20

okay

Answer 21

Now you need to multiply the whole sum with 2.

STEP 2: Use brackets and multiply (8+x) with 2 ----> How will you write this?

Answer 22

2 + (x + 8) = 6

8(x + 2) = 6

2(x + 8) = 6

2(x) + 8 = 6
these are the answers
