Chapter 1.8, Problem 33PPE

To determine

To Translate: The sentence “A number n squared plus 12 is the same as the quotient of p and 4” into an equation.

Answer to Problem 33PPE

The required equation is $n^2+12=\frac{p}{4}$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The sentence “A number n squared plus 12 is the same as the quotient of p and 4”.

Calculation:

n squared can be represented by:

  $n^2$

Is the same can be represented by “=”

The quotient of p and 4 can be represented by:

  $\frac{p}{4}$

So, A number n squared plus 12 is the same as the quotient of p and 4 can be written as

  $n^2+12=\frac{p}{4}$
