Question

if you subtract 123 times a number from 3 times its square the result is 10. translate into an equation

Answer 1

In the problem, it says "a number", use the variable \[x\] to represent that number so it now reads: If you subtract 123 times x from 3 times the square of x, the result is 10

Answer 2

so the ordering of the words my be a bit confusing, because what you are doing this thus:

(3) * (the square of X) - (123) * (x) , and the result is 10

"is" in such a problem can mean "=" so again,


(3) * (the square of X) - (123) * (x) = 10

Answer 3

I think you can take it from here...

Answer 4

\[3x^2-123x=10\]
