Write an expression for each phrase. Use the variable given.
How to solve
Find the operation words: sum, more than, increased by mean +; difference, less than, decreased by mean -; product, times mean ×; quotient, divided by mean ÷. Watch the order: "5 less than n" is n - 5, because you start with n and take 5 away. Write a number times a variable with no × sign, like 4n.
Example
