Given the statement:
six times the quantity two x plus three y with numbers
Representation:
The statement can be written as,
6(2x + 3y)
Six times means we will use the operation of multiplication, and the word “quantity” is also stated which means that the other numbers are enclosed with parenthesis. Hence, we can further simplify the given by distributing 6 to each value inside the parenthesis.
= 12x + 18y
Final answer:
6(2x + 3y)
Simplified answer: 12x + 18y
