Michael is trying to write the algebraic expression for the following word phrase: the quotient of 6 and the sum of 5 and y? micheal wrote the following expression: 6 * 5 + y
error: *
correct solution: *

Error: He multiplied 6 by 5 + y instead of divided 6 by 5 + y

Correct solution: 6 ÷ (5 + y)

Step-by-step explanation:

- Lets revise some words of some operations in mathematics

# The sum ⇒ (+) Add

# The difference ⇒ (-) subtract

# The product ⇒ (×) multiply

# The quotient (answer of division) ⇒ (÷) divide

* Lets solve the problem

- Michael is trying to write the algebraic expression for the following

 word phrase:

 the quotient of 6 and the sum of 5 and y

- Lets explain that: the quotient means the answer of division so he

 wants to divide a quantity by another one

∵ The first quantity is 6

∵ The second quantity is the sum of 5 and y

- He wants to divide 6 by (5 + y)

∴ The expression is 6 ÷ (5 + y)

* Error: He multiplied 6 by 5 + y instead of divided 6 by 5 + y

* Correct solution: 6 ÷ (5 + y)

a line is an defined derm because it

a)contains an infinite number of points b) can be used to create other geometric shapes c)describes something that does not have width or depth d) is a term that does not have a formal definition. a line is an undefined term because it: contains an infinite number of points.
