Answer 1

• Given the word phrase:

What is 12 more than 8.2 times a number n.

Let's write an algebraic expression for the word phrase.

To write the algebraic expression, we have the following:

8.2 times a number n can be written algebraically as:

8.2n

Now, 12 more than 8.2 times a number n is written algebraically as:

8.2n + 12

Therefore, the algebraic expression for the word phrase is:

8.2n + 12

ANSWER:

`8.2n+12`
