Question

anonymous · Answer

$A=\frac{1}{2}bh$
base = b = x
How would you write "1 more than 6 times $x$"

anonymous · Answer

6^2 I assume by my answer choices

anonymous · Answer

you don't have to assume. translate the words to symbols. "times" is self explanatory. What does "1 more than" mean? If you want 1 more than something, are you adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing?
