translate into an algebraic expression. use x and y for variables. the sum of three times a number plus five times another number. the translation is.
is any one of these correct y+3=8 or 3+8=8 please help.
thanks
3x+5y
5 less than 3 plus y and x
Translate: the product of 5 and x
3(x+4)=5-x
six less than four times a number j is 18
10 times the sum of a number and 49
one third of a number, decreased by 4, is greater than 10
40 more than the product of 177 and n
Three more than six times a number
is 21. Let n represent the number.
To translate the given phrase into an algebraic expression, we start by assigning variables to each number mentioned. Let's say "x" represents the first number and "y" represents the second number.
The phrase "three times a number" can be translated as 3x.
Similarly, "five times another number" would be 5y.
The word "sum" indicates that we need to add these two expressions together.
Therefore, the algebraic expression for "the sum of three times a number plus five times another number" is:
3x + 5y
Using this algebraic expression, we can see that both y + 3 = 8 and 3 + 8 = 8 are incorrect.
If you provide the exact context or equations related to y + 3 = 8 or 3 + 8 = 8, I can help you in understanding them and solving them if applicable.
