Six times the sum of a number and 12 is 40?

Question

which equation represents this

6N + 12N = 40

6N + 12 = 40

6(N + 12) = 40

I am thinking it is the second one. Am I correct?

Answer 1

no youre wrong!!

Its the third one

six times the sum of a number" represents two different operation, thus you must use grouping symbols to separate them.  

Answer 2

Yes, it is the second.

N=4.6666

How old are you?

Answer 3

It's the third one because it says six times the SUM. So that means you need to add N and 12 first, and then multiply by 6.

Answer 4

yes but i write it as 6(n)+12=40

                                  -12        -12

                                   6(n)=28

                                   /6      /6

                                      n=4.66666666666666666666666666667

Answer 5

6n+12=40

Answer 6

Nope, it is the third one.

Answer 7

No. It's the 3rd one. Take it as literally as you can. 6 times the SUM of a number and 12. NOT the SUM of 6 times a number plus 12

Answer 8

6(N + 12) = 40

Answer 9

Think of it this way:

Six times the sum (of a number and 12) is 40.

The equation would be:

6 (N + 12) = 40

Answer 10

yes you are :)

Answer 11

its the third one :D

good luck!
