A:
Answer:1. x represent a number2. Add a number times 6 to 5 ⇒ (5 + 6x)3. The first term is a numerical term4. Connie is correctStep-by-step explanation:1. x represent a number (any number)2. If 2 changed to 6 that means the expression will be:    Add a number times 6 to 5 (5 + 6x)3. The first term is a numerical term (constant term)     The second term depends on the value of x (variable term)4. Connie is correct because 10 more than square number means    Add 10 to a square number    ∴ x² + 10    The statement of Sharon is multiply a square number by 10    ∴ 10x²
