Question
can someone check my work please?
1. Seven times a number, added to the sum of the number and eight.
7*x+8
2. A number multiplied by -7 less 11
X*(-7)-11
3. A number multiplied by 9, added to -8
X*9+(-8)
4. 8.7 less than a number
8.7-x
5. The sum of a number and 12 decreased by 10 ¾
X+12-10 3/4
6. The product of a number and -5 less than 7.2
X*(-5)-7.2
7. The quotient of a number and 2 subtracted from 5
X/2-5

1. (Seven times a number), added to (the sum of the number and eight).
---> 7x + x+8 = 8x + 8
4. 8.7 less than a number
----> x - 8.7
(if I said "3 less than 8", you would take 8-3 , not 3 - 8, wouldn't you ? )
7. The quotient of a number and 2 subtracted from 5
the quotient is subtracted FROM 5
so, 5 - x/2
the rest are correct
---> 7x + x+8 = 8x + 8
4. 8.7 less than a number
----> x - 8.7
