Question

Write the following equation symbolically.

The sum of h and 5 is equal to 8 less than 6 times y.

Answer 1

h+5=(6y)-8

Explanation:

The sum is addition. So it wants you to add h and 5 on one side. Do 6 and y in parentheses on the other side and it wants you to subtract 8 from what you got from 6 times y.
