Math Problem Statement

Four times a number more than 8 (let p be the number).

Solution

The question in the image asks for an expression that represents "Four times a number more than 8," where the variable pp is used to represent the number.

The phrase "Four times a number" means multiplying the number by 4, and "more than 8" suggests that we need to add 8 to the product.

The mathematical expression for this would be:

4p+84p + 8

So the expression is 4p+84p + 8.

Do you need further details or have any other questions about this? Here are five related questions to expand on this:

  1. How would you write an expression for three times a number less than 7?
  2. What if the problem said "four times the sum of a number and 8"?
  3. How can you solve 4p+8=204p + 8 = 20 for pp?
  4. How would the expression change if it said "four times a number minus 8"?
  5. What is the difference between expressions and equations?

Tip: When interpreting word problems, always identify key terms like "times," "more than," and "less than" to translate the problem into a mathematical expression.
