(2x + 1)/ (1/3) or (x+3)/(1/6)

depending if X is meant increased by 3 or the whole thing.

let x be a number.
6x is six times a number.
6x+3 is six times a number increased by 3.

6x+18

It's originally 6 times (a number
  • increased by 3) sooo...
6(x+3)

distribute the 6 to get 6x + 18

The question is poorly worded however and should be more clear on whether the number is increased BEFORE or AFTER multiplied, but usually one would expect that the word 'increased' means 'before' whereas something like 'plus' or 'added to' would be ambiguous.

Hi,

Let's break down the given written [worded] expression by noticing that '6 times a number' is simply 6 multiplied by a variable, 'x'.  Therefore, we can say:

6x

Now, when we mention that something is increased by 3, that means that we add 3 to 6x to get:

6x + 3 <==== FINAL ANSWER

I hope that helps you out!  Please let me know if you have any other questions!
