Question

Muriel translated the phrase below into an algebraic expression and then evaluated it for n=4

the product of a number and 8

Which of the following contains the correct expression and value?

Answer 1

"The product of a number and 8"=8n

8n is the expression, evaluated when n=4 is:

8(4)=32

Answer 2

Correct expression = 8n

Value = 32

Explanation:

Let the number be n.

As per the statement:

Muriel translated the phrase below into an algebraic expression:

"The product of a number and 8 "

then;

Algebraic expression =
`n * 8 = 8n`

We have to find the correct expression and value,.

Correct expression = 8n

For n = 4

we have;

8n = 8(4) = 32

Therefore, the the correct expression and its value when n = 4 are:

`8n` and value = 32
