Write the phrase "the product of 2 and a number" as a mathematical expression.

a. 2 + x
b. 2x
c. 2 – x
d. 2⁄x

! will be marked for brainlest if answered correctly.

The word “product” means the multiplication of, so for example the product of 3 and 2 is 6 because 3*2 = 6. Therefore, the product of 2 and a number has to be b) 2x, because it’s the only one that multiplies 2 by something.

I hope this helps!

step-by-step explanation:

y = | -2(-2) |     →     y = | 4 |     →     y = 4       ⇒   (-2, 4)

y = | -2(-1) |     →     y = | 2 |     →       y =   2       ⇒   (-1, 2)    

y = | -2(0) |     →     y = | 0 |     →       y = 0         ⇒   (0, 0)

y = | -2(1) |   c →     y = | -2 |     →     y =   2         ⇒   (1, 2)    

y = | -2(2) |     →     y = | - 4 |     →     y =   4         ⇒   (2, 4)
