Question

Translate this phrase into an algebraic expression. 73 less than twice Jose's height Use the variable to represent Jose's height.​

Answer 1

x-73

Explanation:

Let x=Jose's height. If it says "less than," then that is subtraction. Since Jose's height is not defined, there is no specific number that can be used to describe "73 less than twice Jose's height," so I use the variable x, and then subtract 73.
