Question

Which algebraic expression repesents the phrase? Cindy studied seven more hours than Nikki studied. a. n+7 b. 7-n c. 7n d. n/7

Answer 1

Answer:

Option a is the correct choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be number of hours studied by Nikki.

We are told that Cindy studied seven more hours than Nikki studied. This means that number of hours studied by Nikki plus 7 hours equals to the number of hours studied by Cindy.    

We can represent this information in an expression as :

$\text{The number of hours studied by Cindy}=n+7$

We can see from our given choices that expression given in option a represents the number of hours studied by Cindy in terms of hours studied by Nikki.

Therefore, option a is the correct choice.
