Question

Write the phrase as an expression. Then evaluate when x=5. 6 more than the product of 8 and a number x

Answer 1

The given phrase as expression is
`6 + 8x`

Evaluate when x = 5 is 46

Solution:

Given that we have to write the phrase as an expression

Given phrase is:

6 more than the product of 8 and a number x

Here " more than " represents "addition" and "product" means multiplication

Therefore,

6 + product of 8 and a number x

`6 + (8 * x)`

So the required expression is:

`6 + 8x`

Evaluate when x = 5

Substitute x = 5 in above expression

`6 + 8(5) = 6 + 40 = 46`

Thus value when x = 5 is 46
