Write an expression in algebra for each of the following:
1. the number of cents in x dimes
2. the difference if four is subtracted from x
3. the sum of three consecutive integers
4. the product of three consecutive integers
plz help i don't get these questions
Use N to indicate number.
1. X cents = 10N Dimes
2. The difference between what and what? Unclear.
3. X + (X + 1) + (X + 2) or X + (X - 1) + (X - 2)
4. Using the information from #3, you should be able to do this yourself.
I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
1. To find the number of cents in x dimes, you can use the equation:
Number of cents = 10 * x
In this case, x represents the number of dimes and multiplying it by 10 gives you the corresponding number of cents. For example, if x = 5, then the number of cents would be 10 * 5 = 50 cents.
2. The question is unclear about what you are subtracting four from, so it's difficult to provide a specific expression. However, in general, if you want to find the difference when four is subtracted from x, you can use the equation:
Difference = x - 4
Here, x represents the number you are subtracting four from. For example, if x = 9, the difference would be 9 - 4 = 5.
3. To find the sum of three consecutive integers, you can use the equation:
Sum = x + (x + 1) + (x + 2)
Here, x represents the first of the three consecutive integers. Adding x to (x + 1) and (x + 2) gives you the sum of the three integers. For example, if x = 2, the sum would be 2 + 3 + 4 = 9.
4. The product of three consecutive integers can be found by multiplying them together. Since you already have the expression for the sum of three consecutive integers from the previous question, you can slightly modify it to find the product. The equation would be:
Product = x * (x + 1) * (x + 2)
Again, x represents the first of the three consecutive integers. For example, if x = 3, the product would be 3 * 4 * 5 = 60.
I hope this clarifies the expressions for you. Let me know if you have any further questions!
