Question

Write a math express for each verbal expression.

1.) The sum of 12 and x

2.) The product of 25 and p

3.) 24 increased by twice a number z

4.) The quotient of a number x and 4

5.) 6 less than a number x

6.) One-half of n squared

Answer 1

1.) The sum of 12 and x 12 + x or x + 12

2.) The product of 25 and p 25 × p or 25p

3.) 24 increased by twice a number z 24 + 2z or 2z + 24

4.) The quotient of a number x and 4 x ÷ 4 . or x/4

5.) 6 less than a number x x - 6

6.) One-half of n squared n² ÷ 2 or n²/2

Step-by-step explanation: In most cases, the first expression uses symbols that are commonly used in arithmetic or elementary math. As you advance into Algebra, the ÷ and × are rarely used in favor of / or fraction form like
`(x)/(4)` and
`(x^(2) )/(2)` for division. Parentheses replace × for multiplication, for example (25)(p)=25p to avoid confusion with x, commonly used as an unknown or variable.
