Translate the word phrase into a variable expression. The number a is increased by the number b.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A:a-b B:a/b C:a+b D:a*b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

increased by means?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

addition

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes and the addition sign is what

OpenStudy (deepolisnoob):

its C or D if its addition, you add a and b, giving you a+b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes its C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what i dont understand is the order these are suppose to go in

OpenStudy (deepolisnoob):

it doesn;t matter which order it goes. If you add 5+4 or 4+5, you still get 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the order is determined by the problem a is increased by b a is increased by a+ b so a+b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its commutative property of addition

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think i understand...

OpenStudy (deepolisnoob):

If you are looking for decreased, follow yololifelove format. Subtraction and division have different propeties

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im going to try another one and see if i get that right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can not change the order in subtraction or division but you can is addition or multiplication

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help with another question if i need help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think i could just ask here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Translate the word phrase into a variable expression. Seven less than the quotient of x and 9 A. (x ÷ 9) – 7 B. x-7/9 C. (9 ÷ x) – 7 D. x ÷ 9/7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you see it fine?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because it shows for me it has question marks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright now what you need to do is find out what the quotient is? what does a quotient relate to addition multiplication,or division, or subtraction. its fine you will figure it out once i'm done explaining it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

division

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes so now x/9 thats what we have so what does less than relate too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtraction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes so now u have 7 - x/9 right now what do you put in parenthesis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um put it for the x/9?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes so now your finally equation is 7- (x/9) :) any other ?'s

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think i can figure it out now even though i have about 3 more

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we can work through 3 more together if you would like

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i guess i could i can tell you what i think the answer is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok :) thats fine

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and i'll check them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this time its word phrases
