Can you translate this equation into a verbal and agabric equation x=5+2.3

Answer 1

Hello, Amelia,

Verbally, this can be stated as: "A number, x, is the sum of 5 and 2.3."

Algebraically, the way it is written is an equation already, but it can be simplified: x = 7.3. Written in this form, it is no longer a true equation, simply a statement. X is, and will always be, 7.3, since there are no conditions set on it.
