Malia is forming expressions.
She writes 'a number 5 more than x' as x + 5.
Form an expression from each of these statements.
a) 5 plus y
d) 6 plus p
g) 5 less than k

b) h minus 8
e) 10 minus f
h) the difference between 10 and w

c) the sum of c and 3
f) 12 more than t

Let's translate each statement into an algebraic expression:

a) **5 plus y**: This can be written as  
\[
y + 5
\]

b) **h minus 8**: This can be written as  
\[
h - 8
\]

c) **the sum of c and 3**: This can be written as  
\[
c + 3
\]

d) **6 plus p**: This can be written as  
\[
p + 6
\]

e) **10 minus f**: This can be written as  
\[
10 - f
\]

f) **12 more than t**: This can be written as  
\[
t + 12
\]

g) **5 less than k**: This can be written as  
\[
k - 5
\]

h) **the difference between 10 and w**: This can be written as  
\[
10 - w
\]

Here are 5 related questions to expand your understanding:
1. How would you write "3 more than twice a number x"?
2. What is the expression for "the product of a number n and 7"?
3. Can you express "4 less than 3 times a number m"?
4. How do you write "half of a number p minus 6" as an expression?
5. How would you express "the square of a number x increased by 2"?

**Tip**: When translating words into algebraic expressions, always identify key phrases like "more than," "less than," "sum of," and "difference," which correspond to addition and subtraction.
