Question

Ram has $x$ sweets. If 20 sweets are added to twice the number of sweets he has so that the total becomes 50, then the equation expressing this is .

• A. $2x+20=50$
• B. $x+40=50$
• C. $x+20=100$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $2x+20=50$

Given that the initial number of sweets that Ram has is $x.$
Then, twice the number of sweets will be $2x.$

20 sweets added to twice the number of sweets he has is represented by $2x+20.$

Since the total number of sweets is 50, the required equation is $2x+20=50.$
