Question

Translate each phrase to an algebraic expression. (a) the product of 7 and d, decreased by 16 (b) the product of 7 and d decreased by 16

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 7d - 16

b) 7(d - 16)

Step-by-step explanation:

Question A:

Step 1. The product of 7 and d is = 7d.

Step 2. Then the next part is separated by a comma.

Step 3. This leads to the influence of the idea that 7d is subtracted by 16.

Step 4. This concludes that the answer is 7d - 16.

Question B:

Step 1: The product of 7 concludes that 7 is alone.

Step 2: The separation of and shows that the part after and is together.

Step 3: If it is together, we can conclude it goes in parentheses.

Step 4: If it is in parentheses, it means the number 7 is being distributed.

Step 5: This concludes the answer is 7(d - 16).
