2. Translate the following equation into a verbal sentence. x + 5 = 2(7 + x)
F The quotient of x and five is two times seven plus x.
G The number x plus five is two times the sum of seven and x.
H The number x plus five is two times seven plus x.
J The product of x and five is the sum of two times seven and x.​

Respuesta :

Answer:

G

Step-by-step explanation:

Some points to note

  • "is" means equal
  • "times" means multiplication
  • "quotient" means division
  • "sum" is addition

Now, let's look at the left side of the equation.

It is "x + 5"

This means the sum of the number x and 5, or the number x plus 5

It eliminates F and J

Now, let's look at right side of equation.

It is "2(7+x)"

"7+x" is in brackets, so this is the sum of 7 and x. Then it is multiplied by 2. Thus, we can say:

"2 times the sum of 7 and x"

From the choices G and H left, we select G to be correct.
