Question

5. Translate into an algebraic expression:
17 and 3 times x

Answer 1

17 + 3x

Explanation:

times is super secret top word code for multiply :0

so 3 * x = 3x

and is super secret top word code for add :0

so therefore

17 + 3x

If you come across less than or more than,

Less than means to subtract

For example if you had it is 3 less than x

That can be translated into --> x - 3

More than means to add

Eg. 7 more than x

That can be translated into --> x + 7

Hope this helps~!
