Question

I would just like to know what it is please it is for my homework I am just want to know 

Answer 1

The idea with "writing expressions" is to turn word problems or phrases into mathematic expressions.

 

Examples:

(words)   12 more than x

(expression)   x+12

 

x is at least 2

x>=2

a is less than 3 times b

a<3b

 

Two times one number plus 3 times another number totals to 14

2x+3y=14

At 6th grade level, the goal is for the student to understand the words that relate to the math operators and relationships.

 

Hopefully this helps.
