Question

Write the expression for the following cases:

$30$ less than twice the sum of $x$ and $y$

Answer 1

Here, we have to express the statement

$30$ less than twice the sum of $x$ and $y$ as algebraic form

So, Here sum of $x$ and $y$ is $x+y$

And, twice of it means that $2(x+y)$, Now $30$ less than it i.e- $2(x+y)-30$

Hence, $30$ less than twice the sum of $x$ and $y$ expressed as $2(x+y)-30$.
