b) The sum of the number ‘x’ and twice a number ‘y’.
c) 5 times a number ‘p’ is divided by ‘q’.
d) ‘a’ multiplied by ‘b’ and added to ‘c’.

Answer 1

Answer:

a. 3x-4

b. x+2y

c. 5p/q

d. a*b+c

Answer 2

Answer:

a) 3x-4

b) x+2y

c) 5p÷q

d) ab+c

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

Let a number be X

3 times a number = 3

4 less than means subtracting 4 from the number

3x-4

b)

Given one number is X and the other is Y

twice the number Y is 2Y

sum of the two numbers is

X + 2Y

c)

5 times a number p is 5p is divided by q

then it becomes

5p÷q

d)

a multiplied by b is ab and it is added to c

then it becomes

ab + c
