2.write an algebraic expression for the word phrase 8 times the product of g and h
A. 8
B.8gh
C.8(g + h)
D.8(g - h)

Answer 1

1. In this problem, the variable x represents how many pounds of hamburger meat you're buying. So, to solve the expression, just replace x with how much you're buying, in this case, 7.

2.50x Plug in 7 pounds for x
2.50(7) Multiply
17.50

You will pay $17.50 for 7 pounds of hamburger meat.

2. 8 times (8 x) the product (multiplication) of g and h.
The product of g and h means you multiply them, so it will be gh. Then, you'll multiply that by 8 and get 8gh. So, the correct answer is choice B.
