Write algebraic expressions for the following

a Seven more than a number divided by six

b Half of a number decreased by three

c $ x $ multiplied by five and added to three times $ \gamma $

d 10 added to nine times $ x $

To do:

We have to write the given statements as algebraic expressions. 
Solution:

a) Seven more than a number divided by six.

Let the number be $x$.

This implies the given statement can be written as,

$\frac{x+7}{6}$.

b) Half of a number decreased by three.

Let the number be $x$.

This implies the given statement can be written as,

$\frac{x}{2}-3$.

c) \( x \) multiplied by five and added to three times \( \gamma \).

This implies the given statement can be written as,

$5x+3\gamma$.

d) 10 added to nine times \( x \).

This implies the given statement can be written as,

$9x+10$.
