9 - 3 x 2=12
Correct answer is 3. Do x then -, not - then x.

Use the distributive property to write an equivalent expression to 3(6t-7)

18t-21

200

Write the numerical expression that represents a number less than 12

12-x

200
32 - 6 = 0
3 2 = 9, not 6. Correct answer is 3

Use distributive property to write an equivalent expression

5(4-7y)

300

Write the numerical expression that matches 4 less than the sum of a number and 3.

x+3-4

Use GCF to write an equivalent expression to 11t-55

11(t-5)

400

Write the numerical expression that matches one-fifth of a number

1/5n

400

4(5x-12) = 20x+48

The sign needs to be subtraction: 20x-48

400

20 – (5+3) x 2 + 4

Translate into English. You cannot use the word "plus" or "times" 2x + 3

three more than double a number

500

TWO mistakes:

Half of the difference of a number and 12: 2(n+12)

Half AND difference should be 1/2(n-12) or 0.5(n-12)
