Read each question carefully and follow the instructions to translate between verbal expressions and algebraic equations.
Translate the following verbal expressions into algebraic equations.
1. Five less than twice a number is equal to fifteen.
2. The sum of a number and seven, divided by three, is four.
3. Four times the difference of a number and two is twenty.
4. The product of six and a number, increased by ten, is thirty-four.
Choose the correct algebraic equation for the given verbal expression.
5. The quotient of a number and five is eight.
5x = 8
x/5 = 8
x - 5 = 8
x + 5 = 8
6. Three more than half a number is twelve.
2x + 3 = 12
x/2 - 3 = 12
x/2 + 3 = 12
3 - x/2 = 12
Translate the following algebraic equations into verbal expressions.
7. 3x + 8 = 23
8. (y - 4) / 2 = 9
Determine if the translation is True or False.
9. Verbal: "Ten less than a number is fifteen." Algebraic: x - 10 = 15
True
False
10. Verbal: "The product of a number and four, increased by two, is eighteen." Algebraic: 4x + 2 = 18
True
False
