Question

Write an algebraic expression for each verbal expression.

four divided by the difference between a number and seven

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The required algebraic expression is $4÷\left(x-7\right)$.

Step 1. Given information.

The given statement is “four divided by the difference between a number and seven.”

Step 2. The concept for making the algebraic expression.

That means we need to find an algebraic expression that represents the quotient of four divided by the difference between a given number and seven.

Step 3. Writing the required algebraic expression.

So, let the given number is $x$.

So, the difference of $x$ and seven is $x-7$.

So, the quotient of 4 divided $x-7$ is $4÷\left(x-7\right)$.

Hence, the required algebraic expression is $4÷\left(x-7\right)$.
