Question

Which phrase represents the algebraic expression 1/4 d+7

Answer 1

`(d)/(4)+7`

The given Polynomial is a binomial, means two terms ,containing single variable.

The degree of the polynomial that is binomial is equal to 1, due to the fact that highest power of variable is 1.

If, written in words,

One fourth of a number is added to Seven.

Answer 2

The given equation is confusing since it written straight without any symbols or parenthesis. I can write the equation in two forms:

(1 / 4) d + 7 ---> 1

and

(1 / 4 d) + 7 ---> 2

For equation 1, the variable d is first multiplied by 1 / 4 before adding up with the number 7. So in this case, the correct phrase would be something like:

“The sum of one fourth a number and seven”

For equation 2, this is more complicated since the variable is on the denominator side. The number 1 is divided by the product of 4 and variable d then summed up with the number 7. The correct phrase for this one would be something like:

“The sum of the quotient of one over four times a number and seven”

Select which equation is the correct one.
