Answer 2

There are no expressions listed to choose from, but the expression should look something like the following:

x= # middle school members
2x-6= # high school members

Two times the number of middle school students is 2 times x. 6 less means to subtract 6 from 2x.

ANSWER: 2x-6 is an expression representing the number of high school members.
