Question

How do you translate the word phrase into a variable expression: The product of 6 and a number is increased by 2?

Answer 1

`(6x)+2`

Explanation:

Product means multiply
So,let the number be `x`
Then `6` multiplied by `x` is `6x`
The product is increased by `2` so `(6x)+2`

Answer 2

6n + 2

Explanation:

let the number be n.

the 'product ' of two numbers is the numbers multiplied together,

so the product of 6 and n = 6n

If a number is increased by 2 is a number with 2 added to it.

so 6n increased by 2 = 6n + 2
