Explanation:
I am going to say that this is the equation. The sum means to add. It is asking you to add twice a number. You don't know what the number is, so you are going to do
Multiply
The phrase "twice a number" tells us to write:
The phrase "the sum of twice a number and 4" tells us to add 4:
Then it tells us that the whole thing is tripled:
The phrase "the result is 72" tell us that whole thing equals 72:
I hope that this helps.
