Question

Write an algebraic expression for the two verbal expressions: 1. The product of 5 and twice a number x, decreased by the product of 3 and that same number. 2. Twice the sum of a number x, and another number y, increased by the product of the first number squared and 8.

Answer 1

Answer:

7x for the first expression

2x + 2y + 8x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

5(2x) - 3x

= 10x - 3x = 7x

2x + 2y + x^2(8)

= 2x + 2y + 8x^2
