Example Solution: 13 more than the product of 21 and a number d
Practice makes perfect
Our approach to representing the given algebraic expression verbally will be to break it down into terms, factors, and operations.
21d + 13In this expression, one term is being added to another term. Therefore, the expression is by one term more than another term. Let's break it down into more digestible pieces.
Algebraic Term
Verbal Translation
21d ⇔ 21* d
the product of 21 and a number d
+
more than
13
the number 13
Now that we have translated each of the pieces, let's bring it all together.
21d + 13
13 more thanthe product of $21$ and a number d
Please note that it is often possible to express the same algebraic operations multiple ways, so our translation is only one of multiple possible correct translations.
