Question

Give expressions in the following cases. (a) 11 added to 2 m (b) 11 subtracted from 2 m (c) 5 times y to which 3 is added (d) 5 times y from which 3 is subtracted (e) y is multiplied by - 8 (f) y is multiplied by - 8 and then 5 is added to the result (g) y is multiplied by 5 and the result is subtracted from 16 (h) y is multiplied by - 5 and the result is added to 16.

Answer 1

(a) 11 added to 2 m `= 2m+11`
(b) 11 subtracted from 2 m ` = 2m-11`
(c) 5 times y to which 3 is added ` = 5y+3`
(d) 5 times y from which 3 is subtracted `=5y-3`
(e) y is multiplied by - 8 `= -8y`
(f) y is multiplied by - 8 and then 5 is added to the result ` = -8y+5`
(g) y is multiplied by 5 and the result is subtracted from 16 `= 16-5y`
(h) y is multiplied by - 5 and the result is added to 16 ` = -5y+16`
