Translating Algebraic Equations and Word Problems

Five times a number is equivalent to thirty-two less than nine time the same number. 

• 5x - 32 = 9x 

• 5x = 9x - 32 

• 5x = 9x + 32 

• 5x - 9x = 32 

Eight less than three times a number is equivalent to ten more than one and half times the same number. 

• 3x - 8 = 0.5x + 10 

• 8 - 3x = 1.5x + 10 

• 3x - 8 = 1.5x + 10

• 8 - 3x = 0.5x + 10

Translate the statement into an equation:
Five less than a number is 6

• n - 5 = 6

• 5 - n = 6

What is the expression for "six less than y"

• 6- y

• 6 < y

Translate this sentence into an equation.
72 is the product of 8 and a Steve's age.
Use the variable h to represent Steve's age.

• 72 = 8 + h

• 72 = 8 - h

• 72 = 8/h

Twice a number is 24.

• 2n = 24

• 2/n = 24

• 2 + n = 24

• 2 - n = 24
