the state robotics competition,
This year the club earned $20
more than twice what it earned
last year
Let x represent the amount
raised last year
Which two words in this problem tell you what operation will be in the algebraic
expression? What do they mean?

Respuesta :

Answer:

More Than

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given statement:

This year the club earned $20  more than twice what it earned  last year. Let x represent the amount  raised last year.

The two words in this problem which tell us about the operation are "More Than"

This year club earned $20 more than than twice it earned last year. This means, to find the earnings of this year, double the earnings of previous year and add 20 to them.

Since, x represents the earnings of last year, we can represent the earnings of this year as:

Twice of x + 20

2x + 20
