Chapter 1, Problem 17MCQ

To determine

To find: the algebraic expression which represents the verbal expression.

Answer to Problem 17MCQ

The answer is option B.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Given verbal expression is,

“The product of 4 and the difference of a number and 13”

Given options are,

  $4n-13$

  $4\left(n-13\right)$

  $\frac{4}{n-13}$

  $\frac{4n}{13}$

Calculation:

Let, consider the number is $n$ .

So, difference of the number and 13 is $\left(n-13\right)$ .

Now, the product of 4 and the difference of a number and 13 is $4\left(n-13\right)$ .

So, the algebraic expression is $4\left(n-13\right)$ .

Therefore, the answer is option B.
