Write the following expressions in statements:
x + 3
- 3 is added to x
- 3 is subtracted from x
- x is subtracted from 3
- None of the above
Hint:
The above question represents an algebraic expression. In this question the variable is x. Variable is a quantity that have no fixed value. And 3 is the constant. It means it has a fixed value. We have to describe the operation being performed on variable.
The correct answer is: 3 is added to x
The equation is x+3.
Here the sign between the variable and constant is plus, which represents addition.
Therefore, the equation represents three is being added to x. It means we are adding three to the variable.
So, option (a) which is '3 is added to x' is the correct option.
If we have different conditions. We can find the value of x in that conditions.
