Final answer:
To translate the given word expressions into algebraic expressions, it can be done step-by-step using mathematical rules and notation. Each expression represents a unique mathematical relationship between numbers and operations. Understanding the given information, we can represent the expressions using the correct algebraic symbols and operations.
Step-by-step explanation:
- One-half the difference of a number and 5: (x - 5) / 2
- The difference of twice a number and 8 increased by 5: (2x - 8) + 5
- The quotient of 5 and the sum of 8 and twice a number: 5 / (8 + 2x)
- 8 decreased by the product of 5 and a number: 8 - (5x)
- One-half a number subtracted from 5: 5 - (x/2)
- The square of the difference of the opposite of a number and 5: ((-x) - 5)^2
- The difference of the square of the opposite of a number and 5: ((-x)^2) - 5
- The difference of the squares of the opposite of a number and 5: ((-x)^2) - 5^2
- Twice the difference of a number and 5: 2(x - 5)
- The difference of twice a number and 5: (2x - 5)
