Question

Choose the correct answer from the given four options $\left(3to15\right)$.

$3$. I think of a number $x$, add $5$ to it. The result is then multiplied by $2$ and the final result is $24$. The correct algebraic statement is:

• A. $x+5\times 2=24$
• B. $(x+5)\times 2=24$
• C. $2\times x+5=24$
• D. $x+5=2\times 24.$

Answer 1

The correct option is B

$(x+5)\times 2=24$

Given, the number is $x$.

Then,$5$ is added in it $=x+5$

Now, $2$ is multiplied by the result $=(x+5)\times 2$

This will give us $24$.

$\Rightarrow (x+5)\times 2=24$
