Question

Translate the following sentence into an equation:

 

“Two times z is equal to two times the sum of v and x”.

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The equation is $2z=2\left(v+x\right)$.

Step 1. Given information.

The given sentence is:

Two times z is equal to two times the sum of v and x.

Step 2. Break the sentences.

The expression for two times of z is $2z$.

And the expression for the sum of v and x is $v+x$.

Step 3. Write the equation.

Since $2z$ is equal to two times $\left(v+x\right)$

 

Therefore,

$2z=2\left(v+x\right)$
