PLEASE HELP!!
Turn this into algebraic expression...
The difference between six times a number and seven more than three times the number

anonymous · Answer

let the number be x

anonymous · Answer

since it is not specified whether it is positive difference or negative difference, we assume it is positive difference

anonymous · Answer

okay. what i was thinking was 6x+3x+7 but not sure 100%

anonymous · Answer

so, 6 times the number is 6(x)...6x...three times the number is 3x and 7 more than that is 3x+7

anonymous · Answer

so 6x(3x+7)

anonymous · Answer

so the difference will be...(7+3x)-6x

anonymous · Answer

they asked for difference not product

anonymous · Answer

oh ok. thank you. so difference would be subtract

anonymous · Answer

thanks!!

anonymous · Answer

anonymous · Answer

however it depends on the x

anonymous · Answer
