Question

translate this verbal expression to a algebraic expression eight more than six times a number added to one more than nine times the number

Answer 1

I will right it sideways. you can use this strategy later on if you would like. I put (parentheses) around what is optional to include. the = to the left of the second word number is to show that the number is equal. if there are two different variables you would put a crossed out equal sign.
_______________
eight= 8 l
more than= +
six= 6
times= x
(a)number= n l
_______________
added (to)= +
_______________
one= 1 l
more than= +
= number= n l
_______________

(I tried to do parentheses)

then, you rewrite what you wrote beside the words!

(8+6n)+(1+n)

that is your equation!
