Question

Translate the following verbal statement into an algebraic expression. Use x for your variable.

Answer 1

Answer:

x²/11 + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

We can decipher this algebraic expression going step by step.

1) "Eight more", meaning +8 (we can add this on later).

2) The "quotient of a number (x) squared and eleven", a quotient by definition means the answer to a quantity divided by another. The quantity in this case being x² divided by 11 (so, x²/11).

3) We can combine both of these, getting x²/11 + 8.

Your expression is x²/11 + 8.

- Similarly, you could reposition this equation like 8 + x²/11 (due to the communicative property of addition). Both answers would be acceptable.
