What is the expression for "the difference between 5 times a number and twice that number"?
1 answer:
Hey there :)
Before translating the sentence into mathematics, let r represent 'a number'
5 times a number = 5r
2 times that number = 2r
The difference between them = 5r - 2r
* Your equation
5r - 2r
* Solving the equation
= 5r - 2r
= 3r

The formula you need to use is C = 5/9•(F - 32)
So take 15 and subtract 32: 15-32 = -17
Then multiply that by 5/9: 5/9•(-17) ≈ -9.44
