Concept explainers
To explain: the difference between algebraic expression and verbal expression.
Explanation of Solution
Algebraic expression:
Unlike equations, algebraic expressions do not contain an equal sign.
Verbal expression:
A verbal expression is a mathematical statement that is expressed in words.
The skill of translating between verbal statements and algebraic expressions requires an understanding of the words that are commonly used to represent mathematical operations.
For example:
Verbal expression | Algebraic expression |
Five increased by four times a number | |
Eight less than twice a number | |
The product of 4, and a number decreased by 7 |
