Question

Can someone give me the answers of the nexts excercises:

Answer 1

Answers are in bold

1. p+4
2. 12-n
3. n/8
4. skipping
5. x-23
6. 2n+2
7. n-9
8. 5n
9. n/6
10. 0.70n

========================================================

Explanations:

1. "4 more than p" means we add 4 onto p. For instance, let's say we replace p with 10. This means "4 more than 10" would be 4+p = 4+10 = 14.
2. Not much to say here. We subtract the two items.
3. The term "quotient" is the result of dividing two numbers. The slash / symbol means "divide" and it also is used for fractions.
4. Skipping.
5. Similar to problem 1, but now we subtract since the result is smaller than x. For instance, let's say x = 30. Then 23 less than this is x-23 = 30-23 = 7.
6. If n is some number, then twice that is 2n. We add on 2 more to get 2n+2 as the answer.
7. Same idea as problem 2. "A number" stands in place of "n".
8. "Product" means "result of multiplication". So we multiply 5 and the number to say 5 times n = 5*n = 5n.
9. Similar idea to problem 3, but we use "a number" in place of "n".
10. We multiply the number of cans (n) with the price per can (0.70) to get 0.70n
