How do you write this as an algebraic equation with two variables?
Four times the number of cars less twice the number of trucks is 33?
Thanks!
4c - 2t = 33
To write this as an algebraic equation with two variables, let's assign variables to the number of cars and the number of trucks.
Let's say:
C = number of cars
T = number of trucks
Now, let's convert the given statement into an equation.
"Four times the number of cars less twice the number of trucks is 33."
We can break down the statement as follows:
1. Four times the number of cars: 4C
2. Twice the number of trucks: 2T
3. Less: -
4. 33: 33
Combining these parts, we get the equation:
4C - 2T = 33
Therefore, the algebraic equation with two variables that represents the given statement is 4C - 2T = 33.
