Which verbal expression represents the algebraic expression?

(A) 2 times a number minus 6
(B) twice the difference between 6 and a number
(C) 6 less than twice a number
(D) twice the difference between a number and 6
I think it's A, am I right?
Thank You for your help.

Oh My God! The expression is 2(n-6)

So sorry Ms. Sue

Which algebraic expression?

No.

The expression for A is 2n - 6

Still not getting it - but if I were to guess I would probably pick D? I will go back to math is fun site and study some more!

Thanks again,
Kyle

D is correct.

Math is Fun is a great site for learning math.

thanks ms sue i gave both of you a like

To identify which verbal expression represents the given algebraic expression, we need to analyze each option and determine which one matches the given expression:

(A) 2 times a number minus 6

(B) twice the difference between 6 and a number

(C) 6 less than twice a number

(D) twice the difference between a number and 6

To solve this, we can break down the given algebraic expression into its components. The expression is "2 times a number minus 6."

Let's analyze each option:

(A) 2 times a number minus 6: This matches the given expression, so it is a potential correct answer.

(B) Twice the difference between 6 and a number: This does not match the given expression as there is no subtraction of the number.

(C) 6 less than twice a number: This does not match the given expression as the subtraction is in reverse order.

(D) Twice the difference between a number and 6: This does not match the given expression as the subtraction is in reverse order.

Based on our analysis, option (A) is the correct choice as it matches the given algebraic expression.

Therefore, you are correct. The verbal expression that represents the algebraic expression "2 times a number minus 6" is indeed option (A).
