Question 133140: need help writing algebriac expression for these problems "the product of 8 and a number is 88," "the sum of three and twice a number is 55", three times the sum of three and a number is 57" and "eight more than five times a number is that number increased by 28". Answer by oscargut(2103) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! "the product of 8 and a number is 88," 8x=88
"the sum of three and twice a number is 55" , 3+2x=55
three times the sum of three and a number is 57" 3(3+x)=57
"eight more than five times a number is that number increased by 28". 8+5x=x+28
(in all cases x is the number)
