GENERATE EXPRESSIONS 6:2 - Practice: Write Expressions for Statements

Oct 22, 2026

Uploaded by Sarah

Worksheet focused on generating algebraic expressions from verbal statements for grade-level learners. It provides a set of 20 numbered statements involving operations such as multiply, subtract, divide, double, halve, and multi-step transformations. An example demonstrates the conversion from “double x and add 5” to “2x + 5.” The answer section supplies the corresponding expressions, supporting checking and reinforcement of variable and order-of-operations thinking.

FAQs

How do you turn a statement like “multiply a by 12” into an expression?

Replace the wording with the corresponding operation on the variable: “multiply a by 12” becomes 12a.

What expression matches “double d and then add 3”?

First double d to get 2d, then add 3, giving 2d + 3.

How should “add 3 to p and then double the result” be written?

Group the sum first, then double it: 2(p + 3).
