How do you write seven more than six times a number is equal to 25

Question

How do you show the equation seven more than six times a number is equal to 25

Answer 1

Hello, Rose,

I would write it just as it sounds:

"Six times a number" is 6x,

"Seven more" is + 7.

" Is equal to 25" is = 25.

Therefore, 6x + 7 = 25

Going a step further, just for fun,

6x = 18, and

x = 3

25 is 7 more than 6*3.

I hope this helps,

Bob

Answer 2

I think the easiest way to do these types of problems is to look at each individual statement, figure out what they mean, then put them all together:

seven more: +7

six times a number: 6x (you can use any variable you like, it doesn't have to be x)

equal to 25: = 25

So when you put it all together it becomes:

6x + 7 = 25

Hope this helped!
