Answer 1

The correct student who wrote the algebraic expression for the statement "Martha made six times as many goals" is Hector.

Hector's work:
- **6x**: Here, "times" correctly represents multiplication, indicating that Martha made six times the number of goals represented by \(x\).

The others are incorrect:
- Aida (6 + x) uses addition.
- Camila (StartFraction 6 Over x EndFraction) uses division.
- Juan (6 - x) uses subtraction.

So, the correct answer is Hector.
