Question

Which algebraic expression represents the phrase below? Four less than the product of twice a number and eight

Answer 1

Answer:

$(2x)(8)-4$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number.

We are asked to write an algebraic expression for the given phrase.

Phrase: Four less than the product of twice a number and eight.

Since our number is x, so twice the number would be $2x$.

The product of twice a number and eight would be $(2x)(8)$

Four less than the product of twice a number and eight would be $(2x)(8)-4$.

Therefore, our required expression would be $(2x)(8)-4$.

Answer 2

2(x-8)-4
