Question

Write the expression “the sum of seven times a number and five, divided by the sum of negative two times the number and eleven” using algebra. Choose the correct phrase below. (–2x + 11) ÷ (7x + 5) (–2x + 11) + (7x ÷ 5) (7x + 5) + (–2x ÷ 11) (7x + 5) ÷ (–2x + 11)

Answer 1

The answer is (7x+5) / (-2x+11)

Answer 2

`\text{The expression is }((7x+5))/((-2x+11))`

Option D is correct.

Explanation:

Given the statement

“the sum of seven times a number and five, divided by the sum of negative two times the number and eleven”

we have to choose the correct option.

Let a number be x

Therefore the sum of seven times a number and five is

`7x+5`

Also the sum of negative two times the number and eleven

`-2x+11`

Now, the statement “the sum of seven times a number and five, divided by the sum of negative two times the number and eleven” can be written as

`((7x+5))/((-2x+11))`

which is required expression.

Hence, option D is correct.
