4 times a number plus 5 times the same number. (Use y)
Explanation
The expression "4x + 5x" represents 4 times a variable (x) plus 5 times the same variable. By combining like terms, we simplify the expression to 9x, indicating the total value obtained by adding 4x and 5x together. This demonstrates the distributive property of multiplication over addition and simplifies the expression to its simplest form.Rate this question:

7 more than one third of a number
Explanation
The given expression, 7+1/3x, represents the sum of 7 and one third of a number x. This can be understood by breaking down the expression: 1/3x represents one third of the number x, and when we add 7 to it, we get the result of 7 more than one third of the number x.Rate this question:

The difference between a number and ten
Explanation
The given expression (y-10) represents the difference between a number and ten. It subtracts 10 from the variable y, indicating that the value of y is being reduced by 10. This expression can be used to find the numerical difference between any number and ten by substituting the desired value for y.Rate this question:

Product, sum, difference, and quotient are all answers that mean to put ( )s around the expression.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The statement is true because product, sum, difference, and quotient are all mathematical operations that involve performing calculations on numbers. In order to clearly indicate the expression that needs to be calculated, it is common practice to put parentheses around it. Therefore, the answer is true as all these operations require the use of parentheses.Rate this question:
