Final answer:
The verbal expressions for the given algebraic expressions are explained step-by-step.
Step-by-step explanation:
a. The verbal expression for (3x + 4y - 2) is "Three times x plus four times y minus two." The coefficients (3 and 4) represent the number of times each variable is multiplied, and the constant (-2) is added at the end.
b. The verbal expression for (x/2 + 4x) is "Half of x plus four times x." The coefficient 1/2 represents dividing x by 2, and the coefficient 4 represents four times x.
c. The verbal expression for (5(x - 4) + 2) is "Five times the difference of x and four, plus two." The expression inside the parentheses is subtracting 4 from x.
