Rachael Downs · Answer 1

6 (N + 12) = 40

let the number be N then add 12 and multiply by 6 is 6 (N + 12)

6 (N + 12) is forty means 6 (N + 12) = 40

Lauren Callahan · Answer 2

The answer is 6 (N+12)

This is because it is telling you that the equation is six times a SUM of a number and twelve. So the number and 12 added together are multiplied by 6.
