Question

How do you translate \[8x\] into word phrases?

Answer 1

Hint: Here in this question, we have to read the question and find the relation by reading the question. By knowing the relation, we can have to write in the form of words. While writing in the word form we use the terms which relates the numeral form and we write the terms which are related to the mathematical operation.

Complete step-by-step answer:
The algebraic expression or equation is a combination of variables and constants. The variables are alphabets and the constants are numerals. In the algebraic expression we have 3 different types and they are monomial, binomial and polynomial. The algebraic expression or equation involves the arithmetic operations.
We have some sentences, by reading the sentences we have to use arithmetic operations.
If we have addition operation then the sentence will involve a plus b, the sum of a and b, a increased by b, b more than a, the total of a and b, b added to a
If we have a subtraction operation then the sentences involve a minus b, the difference of a and b, b subtracted from a, a decreased by b, b less than a.
If we have a multiplication operation then the sentence will involve a times b, the product of a and b then we use the multiplication arithmetic operation. And so on.
Now let us go through the question, in the question we have “8x”, in this question the multiplication mathematical operation is used. So it can be written as by using the sentences which relates to the multiplication operation.
Therefore, the translation of \[8x\] is “the 8 times x”. This also can be written as “the product of 8 and x”.
So, the correct answer is “8 times x”.

Note: The algebraic expression or equation can be converted or transformed into a phrase form and vice- versa. The numeral form is converted or transformed into the phrase form. While converting or transforming the numeral form into phrase form we use the sentence which relates to the respective mathematical operation.
