Question

Explain how to translate the statement into an equation. Use n for the variable.

Sixty-three is the product of nine and a number.

Answer 1

Answer:

9n = 63.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Represent the variable by a letter.

Let's assume that, n represent the number.

Step 2:

Build Right Hand Side of the equation.  This will be the expression before the word "is" in the statement.

Here, the Left Hand Side is 63

Step 3:

Build Left Hand Side of the equation.  This will be the expression after the word "is" in the statement.

Here, the Left Hand Side is 9 times n = 9n

Step 4:

Build the equation by placing an equal sign in between the Left Hand Side and the Right Hand Side.

Here, the equation is 9n = 63

Solving for n, $n = \frac{63}{9} = 7$

Answer 2

Answer:

Sample Response: Replace the word "is" with an equals sign. Replace the word "product" with a multiplication sign. Replace the words "a number" with the variable n, to represent the unknown value. The equation is 63 = 9n.
