Question

Write each as an algebraic expressionthe product of a quarter of 3 more than a number a and 2 times a number b

Answer 1

$\begin{gathered} \frac{3}{4}+a \\ \\ 2b \end{gathered}$

1) Considering that "the product of a quarter of 3 more than a number a" can be written as:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{4}\times3+a \\ \\ \frac{3}{4}+a \end{gathered}$

2) And for the second statement: "2 times a number b" can be written as:

$2b$

We can write them both as:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{3}{4}+a \\ 2b \end{gathered}$
