Let&#8217;s break down the phrase <strong>&#8220;12 more than 8.2 times a number n&#8221;<\/strong> step by step:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>&#8220;a number n&#8221;<\/strong> \u2013 This means the unknown number is represented by the variable nn.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>&#8220;8.2 times a number n&#8221;<\/strong> \u2013 This tells us to multiply the number nn by 8.2, giving the expression 8.2n8.2n. This is the <strong>base<\/strong> of our calculation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>&#8220;12 more than&#8221;<\/strong> \u2013 This phrase means we are <strong>adding 12<\/strong> to something. In math, <strong>&#8220;more than&#8221;<\/strong> often signals <strong>addition<\/strong>, and the number that follows (&#8220;12&#8221;) is added <strong>after<\/strong> the base. For example, &#8220;5 more than x&#8221; is written as x+5x + 5, <strong>not<\/strong> 5+x5 + x, although the result is the same in basic addition. But the order tells us which part is the base.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>So when you say <strong>&#8220;12 more than 8.2 times n&#8221;<\/strong>, you are taking the base <strong>8.2n<\/strong>, and adding 12 to it: Final&nbsp;expression:&nbsp;8.2n+12\\text{Final expression: } 8.2n + 12<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why This Is Useful:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This kind of word-to-algebra translation is essential in solving real-world problems in algebra, business, and science. For example, if someone earns $8.20 for every item they sell and also gets a $12 bonus, their total pay would be modeled as: Total&nbsp;Pay=8.2n+12\\text{Total Pay} = 8.2n + 12<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where nn is the number of items sold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding how to build expressions like this prepares you for creating equations and solving for unknowns in a variety of contexts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>12 more than 8.2 times a number n answer The correct answer and explanation is: Correct Answer:The expression &#8220;12 more than 8.2 times a number n&#8221; is written as: 8.2n+128.2n + 12 Explanation (300 words): In mathematics, phrases in words can be translated into algebraic expressions using specific keywords.
