is it right?
Yes, D. You're welcome
write an expression: 3 more than twice a number
d=rt
that doesn't even make sense
To write an algebraic expression for the word phrase "3 more than twice a number," we need to break it down into two parts.
First, let's identify the unknown number as 'x'. Next, let's analyze the phrase.
"Twice a number" refers to multiplying the number (x) by 2, which gives us 2x.
"3 more than twice a number" implies adding 3 to the result of "twice a number" (2x).
Thus, the correct algebraic expression would be D. 2x + 3.
