Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To solve the problem, we need to create an equation that represents the given information. Let's call the unknown number "x".

"Six more than seven times a number" can be written as: 7x + 6

"is that number increased by 36" can be written as: x + 36

Putting it all together, we get:

7x + 6 = x + 36

So the answer is D. The equation can be written as 7x + 6 = x + 36, where x is the unknown number. This is because "seven times a number" can be represented as 7x, and "six more than" can be represented as +6. The phrase "that number increased by 36" means the same as "the number plus 36," which is represented as x + 36. The other answer choices do not match the given problem statement.
