Exercise 73 Page 124

Every equation has an equals sign and values or expressions on either side of the $\text{equals}$ $\text{sign}.$ The given equation is no different, so let's begin our translation using phrases such as $\text{is},$ $\text{is equal to},$ or $\text{equals}$ to express equality. Now, to translate the left- and right-hand side of this equation, let's break down the expressions and verbally express the individual terms and factors.

Algebraic Term	Verbal Translation
$d^4$	$d$ to the power of $\text{4}$
$+$	$\text{plus}$
$64$	$64$
$=$	$\text{ equals }$
$3d^3$	the product of $3$ and $d$ $\text{cubed}$
$+$	$\text{plus}$
$77$	$77$
$d$ to the power of $4$ plus $64$ equals the product of $3$ and $d$ cubed plus $77.$

Note that because there are often several ways to express certain mathematical operations, our answer is only one of many correct ways to verbally express this equation.
