Question

Match the following sentences on the left with their algebraic expression on the right.

Answer 1

a. The product of 5 and the sum of a number and 8

Product means multiplied, so that means 5 multiplied by some number plus 8, thus, 5(x+8)

b. A number less than 12

12-x would equal less than

c. The product of five and a number divided by 2

Again, product means multiplied, so its saying 5 times something, all divided by 2, thus, 5x/2

Please give brainliest :) hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

A number less than twelve = 12 - x = b

The product of five and a number divided by two = 5x/2 = c

The product of five and the sum of a  number and eight = 5(x+8) = a

Step-by-step explanation:

A number less than twelve

12 minus a number

12 - x

The product of five and a number divided by two

A number times 5 divided by 2

5x/2

The product of five and the sum of a  number and eight

A number plus 8 times 5

(x+8)*5

5(x+8)
