1) 6 more than p
2) 'x' is reduced by 4
3) 8 subtracted from y
4) q multiplied by'-5'
5) y divided by 4
6) one -fourth of the product of 'p' and q
7) x multiplied by 5 and added to '10'
8) 5 subtracted from two times of 'y'
9) y multiplied by 10 and added to 13

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Consider the parenthesis as shown in the above image to write a statement

using variables, constants and arithmetic operations:

Here, the given statement is

′

x

′

reduced by 4.

The word 'reduced by' suggests subtraction. So, the verbal expression x reduced by 4 can be represented by the algebraic expression x−4.

Hence, the statement

′

x

′

reduced by 4 can be rewritten as x−4.
