Answer 1

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

1. 4 less than the quantity of 8 times n

`8n-4`

2. 6 times the sum of y and 11

`6(y+11)`

3. The square of m reduced by 49

`m^2-49`

4. The quotient when the quantity of 17 plus p is divided by 8

`(p+17)/(8)`

5. Jim earned j in tips, and Steve earned s in tips. They combine their tips and then split them equally.

`(j+s)/(2)`

6. Owen has c collector cards. He quadruples the number of cards he has and then combines them with Ian, who has i collector cards.

`4c+i`

7. Rae runs 4 times as many miles as Madison and Aaliyah combined. Madison runs m miles, and Aaliyah runs a miles.

`4m+m+a\\\\=5m+a`

8. By using coupons, Mary Jo is able to decrease the retail price of her groceries, g, by $125.

`g-125`

9. To calculate the area of a triangle, you find the product of the base and height and then divide by 2.

`(b* h)/(2)`

10. The temperature today was 10 degrees colder than twice yesterday’s temperature, t.

`2t-10`
