If 5 more than twice one number plus another number is 29, what equation represents this?*2y = 29 + 2xy = 2x + 24y = 24 – 2x2y = 29 – 2x

Question

If 5 more than twice one number plus another number is 29, what equation represents this?

  • 2y = 29 + 2x
  • y = 2x + 24
  • y = 24 – 2x
  • 2y = 29 – 2x

Solution

The correct equation that represents the statement "5 more than twice one number plus another number is 29" is 2x + y = 24. Here's how you get it:

Step 1: Identify the variables in the statement. Let's say the "one number" is x and the "another number" is y.

Step 2: Translate the statement into an equation. "5 more than twice one number" can be written as 2x + 5. "Plus another number" adds y to the equation, so now we have 2x + 5 + y.

Step 3: The statement says this sum is 29, so the full equation is 2x + 5 + y = 29.

Step 4: Simplify the equation by subtracting 5 from both sides to isolate the variables on one side. This gives us 2x + y = 24.

So, the correct equation is 2x + y = 24.
