Can you see if it did this right Write an algebraic expression for the phrase: 6 more than the product of 8 and n. here's my answer 6>8n

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

you wrote: "6 > 8n" which means 6 is greater than the product of 8 and n :) You're close though :) Your question says " 6 MORE than the product of 8 and n" So product of 8 and n means 8n which you did (good job btw :D ) But now you want to focus on the "6 more" part. Here's an example/hint :) If i said " Zara had 4 MORE than than Sam" This would mean Zara = 4 + Sam, do you get it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6 =>8n?

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

6 more means + 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ahh >.< I knew the equal sign looked silly. Thanks Buterflydreamer

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

it's aaaallll goood :) Good job though!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

+6>8n?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks :)

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

oh...wait a minute LOl. Just to be safe, your question is to write " 6 more than the product of 8 and n" right? If so then it would be 6 + 8n

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Did i do it right?

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

well, 6 more than the product of 8 and n means : 8n + 6 We don't have an inequality so we wouldn't use "<" or ">"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

yup :)

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

think of it like if i added 6 more, it would mean + 6 right? So that's why it would be 8n + 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks big time.

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

No problem :D!
