Question

Translate the sentence into an equation.

Seven times the sum of a number and 3 equals 2.
Use the variable x for the unknown number. I

Answer 1

7 x (x+3) =2

Explanation:

hi, so in order to get the answer we need to find the key words, in this case ‘times’ and ‘sum’ is telling us multiplication and addition

so in the second part, its telling us to use x, the variable as the number that wasn’t identified which is filling the space for us.

and once we’ve figured all those little clues we have our answer

so we’re going to have 7 first, then multiplied by x+3 which equals 2

hope u got it!!.
