What is 3m-5 made into a word problem?
m = $10 dollar bill
Jerry had 3 $10 dollar bills and spent $5.00. How much does he have left?
$25.00, he had $25.00 left
Right.
To create a word problem from the expression 3m-5, let's imagine a scenario where "m" represents the number of minutes you spend doing a specific task, and the expression 3m-5 represents the amount of money you earn from that task.
Word problem:
You are hired to do a job that pays $3 for every minute you work. However, there is a deduction of $5 as a processing fee. How much money will you earn after working for "m" minutes?
Explanation:
To solve this word problem, we can substitute "m" with any given value for the number of minutes worked. We then multiply the number of minutes by 3 and subtract 5 to find the final earnings.
For example, if you worked for 10 minutes, we can substitute "m" with 10 in the expression 3m-5:
3(10) - 5 = 30 - 5 = $25
Therefore, if you worked for 10 minutes, you would earn $25. You can follow the same process to solve for any given value of "m" and find the corresponding earnings.
