Question

Write a equation for 10 less than j is 35

Answer 1

Answer:

$j - 10 = 35$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 10 less than $j$ is 35.

To find: The equation of the given situation.

Solution: We need to write an equation for 10 less than $j$ is 35.

Here, we will break down the sentence to form the equation.

10 less than $j$ means $j - 10$.

Then, it says 10 less than $j$ is 35 which means it is equal to 35.

So, the sentence 10 less than $j$ is 35 can be written as 10 less than $j$ is equal to 35.

Now, 10 less than $j$ is equal to 35 can be shown as $j - 10 = 35$.

Therefore, the required equation is  $j - 10 = 35$.

Answer 2

You would write the equation as j - 10 = 35

You write the equation like that because 10 is less that j (subtract), or if you flip it around, j is greater by 10. And it's saying that 10 less than j IS 35, it is talking about 35 because the answer of the equation.
