Question

Write the following equation in statement form:
$m-7=3$

Answer 1

Hint: In this question we have to write the given equation in the statement form. It means whatever is written here in the form of a mathematical equation, we have to write it in the form of a statement as we write in English language. So, basically we should know how to write the operators in English language.

Complete step by step solution:
In the given question, it is written as
$m - 7 = 3$
Here are some variables, numbers and operators. We have to convert them in English and then we have to write the given equation in the form of a statement.
Like we use subtracted terms for $ - $ sign and the term for ‘=’ sign.
Here $7$comes after the subtraction sign so we will use the term ‘from’ while writing that seven subtracted from whichever number or variable.
Here we have used the variable m. So, we will pronounce it only m.
Also, we have used the numbers $7$ and $3$.
Therefore, we can write the following equation as $7$ subtracted from m is $3$.

Note: If there are some numbers that get multiplied with a variable, then we have to use the terms like twice, thrice, four times etc to write the statement. If some fraction is multiplied with a variable like $\dfrac{1}{2}$ is multiplied with m, then we can write half of m as that number or variable. $\dfrac{{3m}}{5}\, = \,6$ can be written as thrice of m divided by $5$ gives $6$.
