Study Notes
Translating Phrases to Algebraic Expressions
- The number of students in a math club is described as ten less than twice the number in the art club, represented as (2a - 10) with (a) being the number of art club students.
- Eight times the sum of (7x) and (7) translates to (8(7x + 7)), where "sum" indicates addition and needs parentheses.
- Multiplication of (a) and (11a) is expressed as (a(11a)).
- Arianna caught nine less than five times the shrimp William caught, represented by (5c - 9) where (c) is the number of shrimp William caught.
- The phrase "y subtracted from 7y" translates to (7y - y).
- "11u divided into 2u" translates to division expressed as (2u \div 11u) or (2u/11u).
- "14m plus 2" is simply expressed as (14m + 2).
- The sum of nine times (3c) and (11) translates to (9(3c) + 11), indicating an operation of addition on the produced product.
- The phrase "16x more than 7" becomes (16x + 7).
- Seventeen times the difference of (14p) and (9q) is represented as (17(14p - 9q)), introducing multiplication and subtraction simultaneously.
- Similarly, "seventeen times the difference of (4t) and (4u)" is captured by (17(4t - 4u)).
- Sarah sold one more than three times Andrew's coupon books, leading to the expression (3a + 1) where (a) denotes Andrew's sales.
- Paul sold six less than three times Cheryl's sales, leading to (3c - 6) with (c) identified as Cheryl's candy bars.
- The length of a rectangle is described as six less than its width, written as (w - 6) where (w) represents the width.
- The number of dimes is described as three less than four times the quarters, leading to (4q - 3) where (q) is the count of quarters.
