Question

Eight decreased by three times the sum of a number and six

Write as an algebraic expression

Answer 1

8-3(x+6)

explanation:

it just makes sense lol but also bc “8 decreased by three” means “8 minus 3”

then “times” means “multiply”

then “a sum” means “addition”

then “a number” since we don’t know what a number is then we use “x”

“and” means “addition”

“a number and six” means “x+6”
