Question

Here we go yall @phi @e.mccormick

Answer 1

This one seems decently easy so i will work it out also

Answer 2

what is answer?

Answer 3

wait i don't understand how they are wording it?

Answer 4

3.5 * 3.5

Answer 5

no wait. Let me write it out, because it is trickier than I first thought
The product 3.5 times the quantity 3.5 more than a number n is 73.5

It is "understood" that when people write
the quantity .....
they mean put parens around the phrase that follows "the quantity"

in other words, we read it as
The product 3.5 times the quantity (3.5 more than a number n ) is 73.5

Answer 6

okay fwew thats what i was thinking, is that correct?

Answer 7

The product 3.5 times the quantity (3.5 more than a number n ) is 73.5

Here is how I would do it
The product 3.5 times
becomes
3.5 *

the quantity (3.5 more than a number n ) becomes (3.5 more than n) or (3.5+n)

is becomes ?
73.5 stays as is

can you glue that together?
