An algebraic expression is, obviously, an expression with a variable.

"A number" would represent a variable, which, in this case, we'll use y.

So, 15 decreased by twice x.
15 - y x 2 = 

I hope this helped :)

15-2x= that would be the algebraic equation. Remember that decrease usually means minus. A number is always represented by a variable, and then anything that by is usually a multiplication or division depending on how its stated.

A store allows customers to fill their own bags of candy. Terri decides she only wants jelly beans and chocolate drops. Jelly be
NISA [10]
Jelly beans - $0.98 per pound
chocolate drops - $0.67 per pounds
Terri's bag = 2.1 pounds and $1.56

p = represents the pounds jelly beans.
c = represents the pounds in chocolate drops

p + c  = 2.1
0.98p + 0.67c = 1.56

c = 2.1 - p  ; number of pounds of chocolate drops

0.98p + 0.67(2.1 - p) = 1.56
0.98p + 1.41 - 0.67p = 1.56
0.98p - 0.67p = 1.56 - 1.41
0.31p = 0.15
p = 0.15/0.31
p = 0.48 pounds of jelly beans

c = 2.1 - 0.48
c = 1.62 pounds of chocolate drops.
