Question

Which equation accurately represents this statement? Select three options. Negative 3 less than 4.9 times a number, x, is the same as 12.8. Negative 3 minus 4.9 x = 12.8 4.9 x minus (negative 3) = 12.8 3 + 4.9 x = 12.8 (4.9 minus 3) x = 12.8 12.8 = 4.9 x + 3

Answer 1

Option B, option C, and option E are correct because the equation is Negative 3 less than 4.9 times a number, x, which is the same as 12.8.

What is an expression?

It is defined as the combination of constants and variables with mathematical operators.

The options are:

A: -3 - 4.9x = 12.8

B: 4.9x - (-3) = 12.8

C: 3+ 4.9x = 12.8

D: (4.9 - 3)x = 12.8

E: 12.8 = 4.9x + 3

We have a statement:

A negative 3 less than 4.9 times a number, x, is the same as 12.8.

We can write in a mathematical form:

4.9x - (-3) = 12.8

or

4.9x + 3 = 12.8

or

12.8 = 4.9x + 3

Thus, option B, option C, and option E are correct because the equation is Negative 3 less than 4.9 times a number, x, which is the same as 12.8.
