Question

Write a real-world situation of your own and a VARIABLE expression to go with it.

Answer 1

@AccessDenied @AnwarA @A.Avinash_Goutham @Australopithecus Please help??

Answer 2

just be creative, it is very simple to come up with a variable expression.

Answer 3

make a scenario where you are trying to solve for something

Answer 4

or just use a search engine to find one

Answer 5

mmmm...ok ill try

Answer 6

hell you could write

bob bought 5 apples there are a total of 20 apples how many apples did mike buy

Answer 7

it is supposed to be an algebraic expression! The example they put is this one : Write an expression for the following real-world situation.
If Mr. Jackson earns $1000 for every used car he sells and $2000 for every new car he sells, how much would he make if he sold "u" used cars and "n" new cars?

Answer 8

and the variable expression would be 1000u + 2000n

Answer 9

understand? :)

Answer 10

that is an algebraic expression, and real world

Answer 11

Thats what i need to do

Answer 12

the example I gave you is just very simplistic but it still involves algebra

Answer 13

oh ok

Answer 14

just use a painting example, how much paint do you need

Answer 15

if a certain amount covers a wall and you have 4 walls

Answer 16

something like that will be a little more like what you are looking for

Answer 17

ok :) thanks

Answer 18

how many variables do you require? the example that Mr. Australopithecus gave has 1, the one that Ms. Gabylovesyou has 2.... they're both algebraic expressions...

Answer 19

*variable, variables

Answer 20

the question is stated
and a VARIABLE expression

Answer 21

it doesn't specify

Answer 22

its a variable expression so it should have more than one right?

Answer 23

cuz u dont say variables expression

Answer 24

i guess lol

Answer 25

a variable expression contains at least 1 variable...

Answer 26

no you would say an expression with more than 1 variable

Answer 27

The example it gave me has 2 variables so do i do an expression with 2?

Answer 28

the example you gave is a variable expression in 2 variables...
the example with the aples is a variable expression in 1 variable...

Answer 29

Another example the lesson has is this one:Mrs. Ming earns $35.00 per hour at her job as a computer programmer. What expression represents the amount of money Mrs. Ming earns after x number of hours?

Answer 30

I have to make a variable expression like those ^^^^

Answer 31

if you want a 2 variable expression just use something like

the amount of a chemical A is proportional to five times the concentration of a chemical B ,what is the concentration of chemical B when there are 2L of chemical A

Answer 32

there is your answer enjoy

Answer 33

and what would be the variable expression?? :)

Answer 34

variables would be A and B

Answer 35

ok... that one looks like 1 variable: x - for number of hours worked...
the variable expression for the money she makes would be: 35x

Answer 36

where B changes in respect to A
so B would be y and A would be x

Answer 37

@dpaInc thats what i need a situation where the variable expression is like that ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ lol

Answer 38

@Australopithecus ok !!

Answer 39

i thought this is the type of algebraic expression you meant:
