write as a numerical expression. The product of a number and twelve

Question

write as a numerical expression, the product of a number and twelve.

Answer 1

You will encounter word problems.

 

It will help you to make a chart of words and the algebra expressions that they represent.

 

For example,

    the sum of a and b                               a  +  b

    the difference of a and b                       a  -  b

    the product of a and b                           a  *  b

    the ratio of a to b                                  a  /  b

    is                                                            =

    a is more than b                                       >

    a is twice b                                           a = 2 * b

Add to this chart every day.

 

When multiplying two factors, an expression may leave out the "*" or "•".

Also, the words say "number and 12" which is x*12, but expressions (terms) in algebra put digits before variables, so it is written 12x.

 

Answer 2

Let x = a number

 

 

Use the given variable to write the expression.

 

12x
