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

A car travels 240 kilometers in 2 1/2 hours what is its speed
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

v = 96 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Data:

d = 240 km

t = 2.5 h

speed = d/t

speed = 240/2.5 = 96 km/h

In March Tom had -£165 in his bank account. In April he had -£156. In which month did he have the least amount of money in his a
Flura [38]
March = -165
April = -156

In march he is negative MORE money, meaning he has MORE money in April

This question is trying to confuse you, ussually the lowest number means less, but these numbers are negative, so the lowest number means more.
He has the least amount of money in March
