2. translate the following equation into a verbal sentence. x + 5 = 2(7 + x)
f the quotient of x and five is two times seven plus x.
g the number x plus five is two times the sum of seven and x.
h the number x plus five is two times seven plus x.
j the product of x and five is the sum of two times seven and x.

G

Step-by-step explanation:

Some points to note

Now, let's look at the left side of the equation.

It is "x + 5"

This means the sum of the number x and 5, or the number x plus 5

It eliminates F and J

Now, let's look at right side of equation.

It is "2(7+x)"

"7+x" is in brackets, so this is the sum of 7 and x. Then it is multiplied by 2. Thus, we can say:

"2 times the sum of 7 and x"

From the choices G and H left, we select G to be correct.
