Question: Write the following using numbers, literal and arithemetic operations.
a) 7 less than x
b) 3 more than quotient of x by y
c) 5 timea x added to 2 times y.
Answer:
a) 7 less than x means 7 is subtracted from x
so, we write x-7
b) Quotient of x by y can be written as x/y
3 more than x/y is x/y + 3.
c) 5 times x is 5x, 2 times y is 2y,
5 times x added to 2 times y is 5x + 2y.
