algebraic expression for three more than the product of five times the difference between x and 6

Answer 1

the difference between x and 6 is x-6

the product of five times the difference between x and 6 is 5(x-6)

three more than the product of five times the difference between x and 6 is 3 + 5(x-6)

Answer 2

In this problem, you want to pay attention to keywords. As your answer must be an algebraic expression meaning you are not finding a solution. You are utilizing algebraic numbers, variables, and operations to create the expression.

In this case, the variable is x.

You are finding the difference between x and 6. Meaning x-6. As the word difference represents subtraction

You must times x-6 by 5. As product means multiplication, re-write as 5(x-6). 5 is on the outside because you are multiplying by the difference between x-6.

3 more than in the statement implies you are adding in which you would re-write 3+5(x-6). Your answer should be 3+5(x-6). As it follows the order of the statement.

Answer 3

difference: x-6

times 5: 5(x-6)

3 more: 5(x-6)+3

y= 5(x-6)+3
