Question

Write each sentence as an equation. I need to check my answers please

2. Four less than a number is 24.
3. Twelve added to a number is 26.
4. A number decreased by 5 equals 25
5. A number multiplied by 3 is 39.
6. Garcia has $11. She gets a certain amount more, and then spends $2.

Answer 1

1.) x-4=24

2.) y+12=26

3.) a-5=25

4.) 3b=39

5.) 11+c=final amount

Answer 2

Explanation:

Sure, let's write each sentence as an equation:

1. Let the number be "x".

Equation: x - 4 = 24

2. Let the number be "y".

Equation: y + 12 = 26

3. Let the number be "a".

Equation: a - 5 = 25

4. Let the number be "b".

Equation: 3b = 39

5. Let the certain amount Garcia gets be "c".

Equation: 11 + c - 2 = Final amount (The final amount is not given in the sentence, so we can't simplify this further without additional information.)

Please check your answers against these equations. If they match, then your answers are correct!
