Question

5 times x ( write each verbal expression as an algebraic expression )​

Answer 1

Given algebraic expression: The quotient of 5x+8(i).

Now we know that in mathematics the algebraic expressions are those expressions which are made up of variables and constants along with mathematical algebraic operations which are addition, subtraction, multiplication, division etc.Also Verbal expressions are mathematical statements which are expressed in simple understandable words.

So here we have to convert the given algebraic statement 5x+8 to a verbal statement.

For that we have to take analyze part by part of the given statement:

Let’s take the first part:

5x=5×(x)ii)

On analyzing (ii); we can say that ‘5x’ in simple language means 5 times a number x

.

Now take the second part:

+8(iii)

On analyzing (iii) we can say that ‘+8’ in simple language means plus 8.

Now we have to write the verbal expression altogether by joining both the parts:

Such that on joining we can write: 5 times a number x

plus 8.

Answer 2

Answer:

The verbal expression for 2x is: "Two times some value." or "The product of two and some value."
