Question 3 • Common Core Math 7 B-IC

Which phrases can be represented by the algebraic expression 2x + 1? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
two times a number plus 1
B
a number plus 2
C
twice a number and one
D
two more than a number and one
E
double a number added to 1

Explanation

In 2x + 1, x is multiplied by 2, then 1 is added. “Two times a number plus 1,” “twice a number and one,” and “double a number added to 1” all describe that expression. “A number plus 2” is x + 2, while “two more than a number and one” does not clearly mean twice the number plus 1.
