Question

Write a phrase for the algebraic expression:
s +7

Answer 1

a number plus 7

Explanation:

s+7

Let s represent an unknown number

a number plus 7

Answer 2

There are many possible answers for this.

One example is below.

S = the number of stations included when a person orders basic cable, write an expression for the number of stations a person has if he ordered basic cable and 7 premium channels.

We can represent this as s + 7.

The value that we don't know is the number of

stations included when a person orders basic cable.

So we can represent that as s.

Then, since the person ordered 7 premium channels, that means he

is adding an additional 7 channels to his basic cable plan.

So we can represent this as s + 7.
