Translate the sentence into an equation. The difference of a number times 4 and 7 equals 6 .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

USING C FOR VARIABLE

Nnesha (nnesha):

difference means subtract let number = C

Nnesha (nnesha):

times means multiply now translate

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C-4

Nnesha (nnesha):

difference of a `number times 4` and 7 equals 6 number times 4 = ?? how would you translate this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C*4

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes right so the difference of 7C and 7 equals 6 translate into the equation

Nnesha (nnesha):

4C*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7(CX4)=6

Nnesha (nnesha):

difference means subtract so the difference of x and y would be `x-y`

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7(C-4)=6

Nnesha (nnesha):

read the sentence it's not the difference of a number `and` 4

Nnesha (nnesha):

the DIFFERENCE of a number times 4 `and` 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c(4x7)=6

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[\textrm {the difference of a (number times 4) |AND| 7 =6}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you ELABORATE

Nnesha (nnesha):

`here is the hint difference of 4 `AND` 6 use the `and` hint

Nnesha (nnesha):

the difference of a number times c `and ` 7 = 6 a number times c = 4c so the difference of 4c `AND` 7 = 6

Nnesha (nnesha):

how would you translate the difference of 4c and 7? remember difference means subtract

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4c-7

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes right!

Nnesha (nnesha):

don't forget the equal 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4c-7=6

Nnesha (nnesha):

perfect!
