HOW TO SOLVE WORDED ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSION

Worded Algebraic Expression

           Algebra. It is one of the mathematics' fundamental. The hard one. Majority of scholars, students, learners, find it boring, difficult and uninteresting. Algebra were always present in every school. It always appear as one of the mathematical subject form the list. You may like it or not, you need to have it to pass the semester completely. But why this subject always difficult for us?

           We always ignore every process of how system works. And our ignorance sometimes misleads us to a follow the correct flow of the system. That is why manual is always the first thing to study and not discovery as approach to know things with respect to their design. With this, comes all things difficult. We need to understand that we need a little algebraic workouts to master the Algebraic Expression as fundamental to Worded Algebraic Expression.

Let us consider this worded expression as "+" to our Algebraic expression.

Now the worded expression to Algebraic expression

1. The sum of a and b: a + b

2. 5 added to the number: x + 5 (we can use any letter as variable to the number)

3. The quotient of x and y: x/y

4. M increased by 2: M + 2 

5. The ratio of a to b: a:b

6. Two less than a number: y - 2

7. The difference of x and y: x - y or y - x

8. 5 more than x: 5 + x

9. 7 less than x: x - 7

10. 5 times a number: 5x 

11. x divided y a number: x/y (we can use any letter as variable to the number)

12. Twice the number x: 2x

13. The product of two numbers: xy (we can use any letter as variable to the number)

14. 5 reduced by b; 5 - b

15. The sum of a number and the product of 2 and x: y + 2x

16. The quotient of two numbers subtracted from 10: 10 - x/y

17. Half of a number: 1/z

18. Nine more than twice a number: 2x + 9

19. The product of 6 and twice the number: 6(2x) 

20. Ten less than three times the number: 3z - 10

21. A number divided by 5: x/5

22. The product of a number and 5 more than the number: x + 5x 

23. The product of a number and 2 is less than a number: x - 2x

24. 5 less than a number is 7: x - 5 = 7

26. 3 less than a number is 5 more than 2 times the number: x - 3 = 2x + 5

27. Three times the sum of a number and 4 is 11: 3 (x + 4) = 11

28. Two less than four times a number is 12: 4x - 2 = 12

29: Five more than 2 times a number is one less than the number: 2x + 5 = x - 1

30. The product of 5 and a number is 8 more than twice the number less than 1: 5x = 1 -(2x + 8)
