Question

"10 more than one-fourteenth of some number, w" can be expressed algebraically as

Answer 1

$10\text{ + }\frac{w}{14}$Explanation:

To express the statement algebraically, we will break down the sentence into phrases or words we can interprete numerically:

the unknown number = w

one fourteenth = 1/14

one fourteenth of some number w:

$\begin{gathered} =\frac{1}{14}\times w \\ =\text{ }\frac{w}{14} \end{gathered}$

10 more: it means we will be adding 10 to the algebraic expression after

10 more than one-fourteenth of some number w will be:

$=10\text{ + }\frac{w}{14}$
