The sum of two numbers is 6x + 2. If one of the numbers is 10,write in simplest form the expression for the sum of twice the other number and 8.
:
let a & b = the numbers
:
"The sum of two numbers is 6x + 2."
a + b = (6x+2)
:
"If one of the numbers is 10,"
let b = 10
then
a + 10 = (2x+2)
a = 2x + 2 - 10
a = 2x - 8, (the other number)
:
write in simplest form the expression for the sum of twice
the other number and 8.
2(2x-8) + 8
4x - 16 + 8
4x - 8
2(2x-4)
