Writing Expressions
Write an equation for the following statement: " Three times a number minus five. The result equals twenty"
3x - 5 = 20
Solve: 2(3x + 4) - 3x = 16
x = 8/3
Write an equation for the following statement: " The sum of 8 and 3 times k equals the difference of 5 times k and 3"
8 + 3k = 5k - 3
Solve: 2(2x + 3) + 4x = 18x - 4
x=1
Solve: (9b - 3) / 9 = (5b + 5) / 3
b=-3
Write an expression for the following statement: " 3 times the quantity of a number plus 4"
3(x + 4)
Write an equation for the following statement: " The sum of 10 and the quotient of 8 and k equals the product of 5 and k"
10+ 8/k = 5k
3(2b - 1) - 7 = 16b - 10
b=0
