Read each sentence carefully and translate it into an algebraic equation. Use 'x' as your variable unless otherwise specified.
1. Five more than a number is eighteen.
2. The product of seven and a number is forty-two.
3. A number decreased by ten is negative three.
4. The quotient of a number and four is twelve.
5. Which equation represents 'Twice a number increased by five is fifteen'?
2 + x + 5 = 15
2x + 5 = 15
2(x + 5) = 15
x/2 + 5 = 15
6. Which equation represents 'The difference between a number and nine is twenty-one'?
9 - x = 21
x + 9 = 21
x - 9 = 21
9x = 21
7. Write an equation for: 'Three less than four times a number is seventeen.'
8. Write an equation for: 'Half of a number, increased by six, is thirteen.'
9. The sentence 'A number divided by five equals ten' translates to x / 5 = 10.
True
False
10. The sentence 'The sum of a number and eight is sixteen' translates to 8x = 16.
