Mathematical Expression and Sentence

This document covers key concepts in algebra including expressions, equations, inequalities, and how to translate between English and math. Expressions contain variables and numbers but have no equals or relation signs, while equations and inequalities are sentences that can be solved. Examples are given for writing expressions, equations, and inequalities

5 plus x 5+x
add 5 and x 5+x
the sum of 5 and x 5+x
5 increased by x 5+x

5 more than x x+5

5 is more than x 5>x


Tricky Ones!
5 minus x 5-x
5 less x 5-x
the difference of 5 and x 5-x
5 decreased by x 5-x
5 less than x x-5

5 subtracted from x x-5


5 is less than x 5<x
Translate each phrase into a mathematical expression.
