Question

Greg worked 36hours this week. This is 3 more than twice the number of hours Darryl worked. Which equation could you use to find how many hours Darryl worked?

36=2x+3
36=2x-3
36=2(x+3)
36=3(x+2)

Answer 1

The top one.

Greg worked 36 hours this week... means to write down the number 36...
36

This is... means to write an equals sign...
36 =

3 more than.... means that we're going to add something to another quantity, so write ___ + 3
36 = ___ + 3

twice ... means two times something... Write 2*
36 = 2*___ + 3

the number of hours Darryl worked... this is what we don't know; usually this is written as a variable... this is what is being multiplied times 2...
36 = 2*n + 3
36 = 2n + 3

I hope this helps.

Answer 2

Greg worked 36hours this week. This is 3 more than twice the number of hours Darryl worked.

36=2x+3 .....

3 more = +3
twice the number of hours =2x

so answer 36=2x+3
where x is the hours of Darryl worked.

Answer 3

36=2x+3

Answer 4

36= 2x+3 I think

Answer 5

let hours worked by darryl be x
36= 3 more than twice the hours worked by darryl
36= 2x+3

Answer 6

the 1st.one,
ie 36=2x+3

Answer 7

This is my easy tips for you; y = -2x if x = -2, y = -2(-2) y = 4 if x = -1; y = -2(-1) y = 2 if x = 0; y = -2(0) y = 0 if x = 1 y = -2(1) y = -2 if x = 2 y = -2(2) y = -4 isn't it simple my dear? i hope you got it..,

Answer 8

36=2(x+3)

Uhh think about it people
36=2x + 3 wouldn't work. Nothing times 2 would give you 33
(it isn't a decimal type question, so it isn't 16.5)

Answer 9

i'm pretty sure it's the second one because the question states that if u double gregs hours then -3 then u will get darryl' s # of hours

Answer 10

im positive its the first one
