Solve for 18 mare than the product 16 and

Answer 1

Hi Natalie,

you might have missed out the last part of question. However, this is what we can do with what you gave us;

Look for Keywords

1. 18 more than means + 18
2. Product 16 and means 16 X (something that you missed out from the question)

Form the equation

1. (16 X something that you missed out from the question) + 18 = ?

or

1. 18 + (16 X something that you missed out from the question) = ?

Recap

1. Look out for keywords when solving word problems.
2. In this case, the keywords are more than and product.
3. Form the equation. Solve the equation using the order of operation.
4. Left to right
5. Solve operations in brackets first
6. multiplication and division before addition and subtraction

Answer 2

Hi there, Natalie,

It seems like you left out the ending to your math problem. Assuming there is one number left in the equation, the equation would be:

18 + 16x = Answer

When something is "more" than a number it means that it is adding to that number. For instance, if you have 4 more eggs than me, and I have 3 eggs, it means you must have 7 eggs. So that is why we add the 18 in this equation.

The product of a number and another number means that we are multiplying the two numbers together. In this case, it looks like the 16 is being multiplied by another number that you forgot to type in your question. Since that number is unknown, we would use the letter "x" as a placeholder.

We must also remember to follow the order of operations to make sure we get the right answer. In this instance, the multiplication should come before the addition.
