Question

How do you write “6 more than twice m” as an algebraic expression?

Answer 1

Hint: To solve this type of question, we will have to perceive the question cautiously that what a question is asking to do. In this problem, we have to find a mathematical expression or we can say that we have to translate the mathematical expression of the sentence “6 more than twice m”. Firstly, we will make a number which is 2 times of m. After that, we will add 6 to that number. Then, we will get our solution.

Complete step by step answer:
Let us solve this question.
The question is saying that we have to write “6 more than twice m” as an algebraic expression or into a mathematical expression.
As in the question, it is mentioned that we have to take the number m as a variable.
So, we are going to use this ‘m’ for solving this question.
Let the number be m.
Then, twice of m will be similar to 2 times m or m multiplied by 2.
Therefore, twice m will be 2m.
Now, the question is saying that 6 more than twice m.
“6 more than” means 6 is added to that specific number.
Hence, 6 more than that number which is twice of m will be 2m+6.
Hence, “6 more than twice m” can be written in the mathematical form as 2m+6.

Note:
Students can make mistakes here while solving this type of problem. Students can make mistakes like they will not read the questions carefully and did not understand the question. Then, they will not find a good solution. So, be aware of that.
