Translate: Seven increased by a number added to twice the difference between the number and two.
a. 7X*2X-2
b. (7+X) + 2(X-2)
c. 7X + 2X -2
d. 7+X -2(X-2)
Let the number = x
So 7 increased by a number = 7 + x
And the difference berween the number and 2 = (x - 2) ...so twice this difference = 2(x - 2)
And these two things added together =
(7 + x) + 2(x - 2)
So 'b" is the correct answer
