Question

Translate each statement into mathematical symbols! I don't know how to help!!
a.Two more than x
b. Three times as much as y
c.Five less than twice a
d. three less than the square of n
e. four more than twice as much as x
f. Ten more than trice x is fifteen
g. Two less than twice the square of a is five less than a.
h. Twice as much as y is six more than the cube of y
i. The sum of the square of a and b is seven more than twice a and b
j. Twice x exceeds y by two more than three times the product of x and y

Answer 1

Two more than x means 2 exceeds x = x + 2

Answer 2

b)3 times as much as y means: 3 times of y = 3 multiply y = 3y

c) twice a means 2a and 5 less than twice a means: 2a - 5

d) square of n is n^2 and 3 less than n^2 means: n^2 - 3

e) twice of x is 2x and 4 more than means : 2x + 4

Answer 3

A should be y = x+2, not x = x+2. Thats mathematically impossible even. lol

Answer 4

f) thrice x is 3x and 10 more than 3x is : 3x + 10 and this is 15 so,

3x + 10 = 15

Answer 5

This applies to all the answers. b should be x = 3 y, etc

Answer 6

@soati
I have written like this:

the sentence goes full to exceeds x then I have only written the value not x = x+3 but = x+3..

Answer 7

you should be more clear then not to confuse the questioneer!

Answer 8

I think no one is getting confused but you..

Answer 9

im just saying, youre not being clear. its like you rush to the answer, you do this a lot. just be more careful.

Answer 10

Okays @soati ...

Answer 11

a.Two more than x = x +2
b. Three times as much as y = 3y
c.Five less than twice a = 2a - 5
d. three less than the square of n = n2 - 3
e. four more than twice as much as x = 2x +4
f. Ten more than trice x is fifteen = 3x + 10 =15
g. Two less than twice the square of a is five less than a.= 2a2 -2 = a-5
h. Twice as much as y is six more than the cube of y = 2y = y3 + 6
i. The sum of the square of a and b is seven more than twice a and b =
= (a + b)2 = 2(a +b) + 7
j. Twice x exceeds y by two more than three times the product of x and y
= 2x = y + 3(x * y) +2

This is what i interpret.. let some one else on comment on this...

Answer 12

@Ganpat ith answer is wrong I think..

Answer 13

@waterineyes : How do u interpret ??

Answer 14

Tell me is it: (a + b)^2 or a^2 + b^2???

Answer 15

oh !! yes.. i guess u r right...
it should be... a2 + b2

Answer 16

Okay...
Now it is right...
