Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image shows a set of algebraic expressions that require translation from verbal descriptions into mathematical equations. Here's a breakdown of the statements and their corresponding equations:
-
"Twice the sum of a number and -8."
- This translates to , where is the unknown number.
-
"The quotient of a number and 2 subtracted from 12."
- This becomes , where represents the unknown number.
-
"Eight less than the product of -2 and a number is 14."
- This can be written as , where is the unknown number.
Would you like further details on solving any of these equations, or do you have other questions?
Here are five related questions you could explore:
- How do you solve for ?
- What is the solution for ?
- How do you isolate in ?
- Can you simplify ?
