Exercise 69 Page 15

Try to break the expression down into terms, then break those terms into factors.

Example Solution: 14 minus nine times c.

Practice makes perfect

Our approach to representing the given algebraic expression verbally will be to break it down into terms, factors, and operations. 14 - 9c

In this expression, one term is being subtracted from another term. Let's break it down into more digestible pieces.

Algebraic Term	Verbal Translation
14	14
-	minus
9c ⇔ 9* c	nine times c

Now that we have translated each of the pieces, let's bring it all together. 14 - 9c 14 minus nine timesc. Please note that it is often possible to express the same algebraic operations multiple ways, so our translation is only one of many possible correct translations.
