• A linear equation in one variable is given to us . The equation is 7x - 2 = 33 .

And we need to tell that how we will read out the equation . The given equation is ,

`:\implies` 7x - 2 = 33

• Firstly we see that the unknown number x is multiplied by 7 . So we can read it as seven times a number .

`:\implies` 7x

• Secondly see that 2 is subtracted , so we can read it as , Two less than seven times a number .

`:\implies` 7x - 2

• And finally it is equal to 33 . So , it can be read as , Two less than seven times a number equals thirty-three.

`:\implies` 7x - 2 = 33

Hence option C is correct .

Answer 2
