Answer explanation

Choice C is correct. It's given that x=40. Adding 6 to both sides of this equation yields x+6=40+6, or x+6=46. Therefore, the value of x+6 is 46 .

Choice A is incorrect. This is the value of x-6, not x+6.

Choice B is incorrect. This is the value of x , not x+6.

Choice D is incorrect. This is the value of x+24, not x+6.
