Question

Translate each algebraic expression into ordinary words.

a. 5x-3
b. 2(x+y)
c. 3-(x+5)

Answer 1

Hey there!
For all this, we'll start with defining any variable as "a number", as we're using words.
a) Three less than the product of five and a number.
b) Two times the sum of x and y.
c) Three subtracted from the sum of a number and five.
Hopefully this helps!
