Translate each equation into a sentence.
2(m - n) = x + 7
Select one:
a. Twice the quantity of m increased by n is x plus 7.
b. The quantity m decreased by n is the same as x plus 7.
c. The product of 2 and m decreased by n is the same as x plus 7.
d. Twice the quantity m minus n is x plus 7.
What is it?
That equation means
2 times the quantity m minus n equals x plus 7.
d. Twice the quantity m minus n is x plus 7.
To translate the equation 2(m - n) = x + 7 into a sentence, we need to break down the mathematical expressions and rearrange them into words.
- The quantity inside the parentheses, (m - n), represents the subtraction of n from m.
- Multiplying this result by 2 gives us "twice the quantity of m minus n."
- On the other side of the equation, we have x + 7.
- Putting it all together, the sentence that matches the equation is:
a. Twice the quantity of m increased by n is x plus 7.
