Writing Expressions

November30

Write an expression for the sequence of operations:

  • Add 3 to x, subtract the result from 1, then double what you have.
  • Add 3 to x, double what you have, then subtract 1 from the result.

HINT: Parenthesis force you to do operations before other operations!

    so the problem says add 3 to x double what you have then subtract 1 from the result. so
    3+x
    double 3 and you get 6
    plug 6 in for x
    6-1=5
    so 3+5=8
    eight is the answer 🙂

    what i did was i went word by word so this is how the first equation came out 3+x=-1*2
    this is how the second equation came out (3+x)the power of 2-1 that is how my equations turned out

  17. December 2nd, 2014 at 5:30 pm      Reply citlallym2014 Says:

    The first operations would be (3+x-1)(2) because the order of operations makes you do parenthesis first then multiplication and last the subtraction.
    The second sequence would be written (3+x)(2)-1 because this order tells you to first subtract then multiply and last subtract.
    To check my work i used P.E.M/D.A/S and plugged in 5 for x on both equations and got 14 for the first and 15 for the second which shos that the answer changes if you change the order.

  29. December 4th, 2014 at 2:50 pm      Reply Susy Torres Says:

    1. The expression would be 3+x-1(2) because you have to add 3+x and then subtract 1 and lastly multiply it by 2 and when there is parenthesis it can also mean multiplication.

    2. The expression would be 3+x(2)-1 because now you have to add 3+x just like in the other expression but multiply the answer you get by 2 and whatever that equals you have to subtract it from 1.

    reason being is that you want to add first so you want to add parentheses in order to do it first. 😛

  51. December 4th, 2014 at 6:18 pm      Reply kevina2014 Says:

    The first one would be 2(-1(3+x) because first we would have multiplication so it would be the 2 then we would put the -1 next to it with parenthesis then in parenthesis you would also put adding the 3 and x. For the second one it would be 2(x+30(-1). I but the two first because multiplication comes first then I put the 3 + x because subtracting is at the end.

      If you have an number that is in front of () without an operation sign between them, it means multiply. Did you mean to multiply by -1?

    How I got my answer was sense I had to double my answer, I multiplied it by two. I put up brackets then subtracted 3+x.
    2.[2(3+x)]-1
    I put brackets around 2 times 3+x. Then sense I have to subtract 1 from my result I put -1 at the end of my expression.

    2) (3+x)*2-1

    —————————————————————————-
    1) First, I put parenthesis around 3+x to show that you need to add 3 and x before anything else. Then, I had to subtract 1 from the result of that before doubling anything, so I did ((3+x)-1 to show it. Finally, I put times 2 to double it.

    2) First I put parenthesis around 3+x to show that you need to do that before anything else. Then I put *2 to show that you need to double that. I did not put parenthesis around that and 3+x because you still need to follow the order of operations, so I did -1 after *2.
