a number x multiplied by 11, less 7

Question

how to turn this word phrase into a algebraic expression

Answer 1

Assuming I have read the question correctly and you are saying what is a number that equals 7 less than 11 times the original number your equation would look like this: 

 

y= 11x-7

 

The 11x represents you multiplying the original number by 11, and the -7 represents you subtracting that 7 from 11x.
