Question

Write an algebraic expression to model each word phrase. . • six less than the quotient of d and g. • ten less than twice the product of s and t . • four more than the product of x and y

Answer 1

*six less than the quotient of d and g
                 The quotient of d and g is d/g. Six less than this is d/g - 6.
*ten less than twice the product of s and t
                 The product of s and t is st, twice this is 2st. Ten less than the expression is 2st - 10.
*four more than the product of x and y
                The product of x and y is xy. Four more than this is is xy + 4.
