Question

Write a statement for each of the equations, given below:
(i) x − 7 = 14
(ii) 2y = 18
(iii) 11 + 3x = 17
(iv) 2x − 3 = 13
(v) 12y − 30 = 6
(vi)

Answer 1

(i) 7 less than the number x equals 14.
(ii) Twice the number y equals 18.
(iii) 11 more than thrice the number x equals 17.
(iv) 3 less than twice the number x equals 13.
(v) 30 less than 12 times the number y equals 6.
(vi) When twice the number z is divided by 3, it equals 8.
