Question 1: Explain how the letter x (or any letter) is used when writing expressions, and give an example. How are expressions

different than equations?
Question 2: Identify the parts (include: terms, coefficients, variables and constants) of the following expression and translate it into a verbal expression:
2(3x – 2y) + 7
Question 3: Identify the like terms, explain how you know they are like terms, and simplify the expressions:
10y + 3x + 10 +x -2y
3x – y + 4x + 6 – 2y
Question 4: Explain how to evaluate the expression 8x2 + 25y, when x = 3 and y = 2
Question 5: Explain how to write an equivalent expression for the expression
3(4x + 2y) + 5x.
Be sure to explain which properties you used. What method can you use to prove the 2 expressions are equivalent?

Answer:

Question 1:

The letter x or any letter used when writing an expression is representative of  unit of an idea, quantity or measure, such that it can be translated in the expression to provide information about a related idea

Question 2:

The expression can be translated as two times the expression three (variable) x minus two (variable) y plus the constant 7

Question 3:

In the first expression, the like terms are;

10y and (-2y),

3x and x

In the second expression, the like terms are;

-y and -2y

3x and 4x

The first expression simplifies to 8y + 4x + 10

The second expression simplifies to  7x - 3y + 6

Question 4:

The expression is evaluated as 122

Question 5:

The equivalent expression of the expression 3(4x + 2y) + 5x, is 17x + 6y

To prove when x = 1 and y = 2 we have;

3(4×1 + 2×2) + 5×1 is 29

17×1 + 6×2 is 29 which are equivalent in value

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1:

The letter x or any letter used when writing an expression is representative of  unit of an idea, quantity or measure, such that it can be translated in the expression to provide information about a related idea

Example;

If x is the symbol representing the average number of oranges sold in 1 hour, then the expression for the number of oranges sold per day of 24 hours  = 24·x

An expression is a written mathematical symbolic statement that shows the the finite merging together of representative symbols by the mathematical operations that govern the present constraints

An equation is a statement that two expressions are equal

Question 2:

The given expression is 2(3x - 2y) + 7

The parts are;

The coefficient of (3x - 2y) = 2

The constant term = 7

The variables are x and y

Which gives

The coefficient of the variable x = 6

The coefficient of the variable y = -4

The expression can be translated as two times the expression three (variable) x minus two (variable) y plus the constant 7

or

The expression can be translated as two times the bracket open three times (variable) x minus two times (variable) y bracket close plus the constant 7

or

The expression can be expanded as 2(3x - 2y) + 7 → 6·x - 4·y + 7 which is expressed verbally as follows;

Six times (variable) x minus four times (variable) y plus the constant 7

Question 3:

The expressions are;

10y + 3x + 10 + x  - 2y..........................(1)

3x - y + 4x + 6 - 2y,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,(2)

In the first expression, the like terms are;

10y and (-2y),

3x and x

In the second expression, the like terms are;

-y and -2y

3x and 4x

They are like terms because they can be simply added together to simplify the expressions as follows

10y + 3x + 10 + x  - 2y gives 10y - 2y + 3x + x  10  to give 8y + 4x + 10

Also

3x - y + 4x + 6 - 2y  gives  3x+ 4x - y  - 2y + 6 to give 7x - 3y + 6

Question 4:

The expression 8x² + 25·y when x = 3 and y = 2 is evaluated by replacing (putting) the value x and y (into the expression)

The expression is then evaluated as 8×3² + 25×2 which is the same as 72 + 50 or 122

Question 5:

To write the equivalent expression of the expression 3(4x + 2y) + 5x, we expand the expression as follows;

3×4x + 3×2y + 4x which is 12x + 6y + 4x

We combine like terms;

12x + 5x + 6y which is 17x + 6y

To prove we can check by substituting a value for each of the variables x and y such as x = 1 and y = 2

3(4×1 + 2×2) + 5×1 is 29

17×1 + 6×2 is 29

Calculating Rate of change
ivolga24 [154]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following coordinates of two points on the line of the graph shown in the question as: A(2, 1) and B(4, 2)

Vertical change from point A = y_2 - y_1 = 2 - 1 = 1

Horizontal change from point A = x_2 - x_1 = 4 - 2 = 2

Rate of change = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5

At an electronics store, a smart phone is on sale for 35% off the original price of $679. If you use the store credit card, you
kifflom [539]

Answer:

The  final price of the smart phone if you use the store credit card is $339.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

original price of the smart phone = $679

initial discount = 35%

additional discount if you use the store credit card = 15%

total discount of the smart phone if you use the store credit card

= 35% + 15% = 50%

The final price of the smart phone, if you use the store credit card is given as;

P = 0.5 X $679

P = $339.5

Therefore, the  final price of the smart phone if you use the store credit card is $339.5
