Translate this phrase into an algebraic expression. Five more than the product of 8 and Vanessa's savings Use the variable v to represent Vanessa's savings.

Step-by-step explanation:

so, what's the difficulty ?

the product of two things means a multiplication. something times something else.

the product of 8 and Vanessa's savings is therefore expressed as ("×" is the multiplication symbol)

8 × v

and five more than that means just to add 5 to that.

so, in total, we have

8 × v + 5

remember that multiplications and divisions must be executed before any +/- operations (except for any brackets telling us otherwise).

it would be 4 over -2 divided by -1 over 3.

if you want a solution it would be 4

you flip it so it would be 4/-2 divided by 3/-1 then it would be 12/3 and you would simplify it to 4
