Math Problem Statement

Three times a number increased by 25, Four subtracted from three times a number, The square of the sum of 5 and a number

Solution

Let's go over the questions in your image one by one:


Question 8:
"Three times a number increased by 25 (let xx be the number)."

The expression for this is: 3x+253x + 25


Question 9:
"Four subtracted from three times a number (let yy be the number)."

The expression for this is: 3y43y - 4


Question 10:
"The square of the sum of 5 and a number (let mm be the number)."

You are asked to select the correct option. Let's break it down:

The phrase "the square of the sum of 5 and a number" translates to: (5+m)2(5 + m)^2

So, the correct answer is D: (5+m)2(5 + m)^2.


Would you like more detailed explanations or clarifications on any of these? Let me know!

Here are 5 related questions to further explore these types of problems:

  1. How would the expression change if the number was first subtracted by 10 and then tripled?
  2. What is the expanded form of (5+m)2(5 + m)^2?
  3. How would you represent the product of 4 and the sum of a number zz and 8?
  4. If you subtract 15 from the expression 3x+253x + 25, what is the resulting equation?
  5. How does the expression change if the word "decreased" is used instead of "subtracted"?

Tip: When translating word problems to algebraic expressions, focus on key phrases like "increased by" or "subtracted from" to determine the operation (addition, subtraction, etc.).
