Question

MARKI NG AS BRAINLIEST

Eight more than half of a square of v.
WRITE AS ALGEBRIC EXPRESSION

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Using algebra, this can be solved simply. For demonstration purposes, I’m going to change it to y = 8 less than half of a number.

You can change ‘a number’ to x to simplify it.

y = 8 less than half of x.

The rest is even simpler. You have to rearrange the statement to figure out the rest.

for example:

y = half of x minus 8.

There are two ways you can write the statement. Using brackets, I find, makes it simpler, so you don’t accidentally get the question wrong.

Option 1:

y=(x/2) -8.

I personally find this the easiest way of understanding it, but you can also try Option 2, which is just to remove the brackets. Using Option 2 can lessen the amount of characters needed to be written, but there is a bigger chance of misinterpreting the question or statement.

y = x/2 - 8

y = x/2 - 8The two options are very similar, and you can use either one. Option 1 is the best if there are many steps to a question or figuring out a statement.
