Match the meaning of each of the following expressions. 1. the sum of n and five x - (8 + 2) 2. five subtracted from n x - 8 3. eight added to x n + 5 4. eight subtracted from x 5 - n 5. eight minus x x + (5 + 7) 6. five minus n x + (8 - 2) 7. x added to the sum of five and seven n - 5 8. the sum of eight and two, subtracted from x x + 8 9. the difference of eight and two, added to x 8 - x 10. the sum of x and itself x + x

To solve this question, we find the equivalent algebraic operation to each statement.

1. the sum of n and five

Sum of n and five is: n + 5

2. five subtracted from n

Five subtracted from n is: n - 5

3. eight added to x

Adding eight is the same as the sum of x and 8, so: x + 8

4. eight subtracted from x

Similar as question two, so: x - 8

5. eight minus x

Have eight, subtract x, so: 8 - x

6. five minus n

Have eight, subtract n, so: 8 - n

7. x added to the sum of five and seven

sum of five and seven is (5 + 7)

Adding x: x + (5 + 7)

8. the sum of eight and two, subtracted from x

sum of eight and two is (8 + 2)

subtracted from x is: x - (8 + 2)

9. the difference of eight and two, added to x

Difference of eight and two is: (8 - 2)

Adding to x is: x + (8 - 2)

10. the sum of x and itself

Sum of x and itself is: x + x

I've written the expressions and put the answer in the brackets next to them:

1) the sum of n and five [ n + 5 ]

2) five subtracted from n [ n - 5 ]

3) eight added to x [ x + 8 ]

4) eight subtracted from x [ x - 8 ]

5) eight minus x [ 8 - x ]

6) five minus n [ 5 - n ]

7) x added to the sum of five and seven [ (5 + 7) + x ]

8) the sum of eight and two, subtracted from x [ x - (8 + 2) ]

9) the difference of eight and two, added to x [ x + (8 - 2) ]

10) the sum of x and itself [ x + x ]
