Question

Chin correctly translated the following phrase into an algebraic expression. “One-fifth less than the product of seven and a number” which represents chin’s phrase?

Answer 1

D is the answer on Edgen.

Explanation:

7n - 1/5

Answer 2

Let's assume the number be x.

So, product of seven and a number can be written as 7*x.

Now the given statement is “One-fifth less than the product of seven and a number” which means we need to take out 1/5 from 7x. Hence, it can be converted into an algebraic expression as follows:

`7x-(1)/(5)`
