Answer:

6 +7x

Step-by-step explanation:

To write an English expression as an algebraic one, you must first understand what the English is telling you. Then the translation is straightforward.

<h3>Algebraic representation</h3>

A plus sign (+) signifies addition. Multiplication is signified several different ways. The simplest is writing the factors next to each other.

<h3>Parsing the English</h3>

The objects involved in the addition are 6 and a product:

6 + product

The product is said to consist of two factors: 7 and "a number". The instructions say to use "x" for "a number", so the product can be written ...

<h3>Algebraic expression</h3>

Then the complete algebraic expression is ...

6 +7x

Show work for this fraction equations 30 1/2 -13 3/4

loris [4]

$30\frac12-13\frac34$

Let's put these as improper fractions.
30 = 60/2. add the 1/2 to get 61/2
13 = 52/4. add the 3/4 to get 55/4

$\frac{61}2-\frac{55}4$

To add/subtract fractions, they must have the same denominator. (bottom no.)
If we multiply the top and bottom of a fraction by something, it stays equal.
We can conclude that 61/2 = 122/4. (bottom multilpies by 2, so does the top)

$\frac{122}4-\frac{55}4$

Now that we have a common denominator, we can subtract.
The "fourths" just sort of acts like a unit. Subtract 55 from 122 to get $\frac{67}4$ .

We can convert this to an improper fraction simply by dividing 67 by 4.
This leaves us with 16, and a remainder of 3. Our answer is $\boxed{16\frac34}$
