Which description represents the equation 7x - 2 = 33?

1. Two less than seven times a number equals thirty-three.
2. Two times the quantity of seven less than a number equals thirty-three.
3. Seven less than two times a number equals thirty-three.
4. Seven times two minus a number equals thirty-three.

i’m pretty sure it would be 1. two less than seven times a number equals thirty-three

Hi there!

I believe your answer is:

"1. Two less than seven times a number equals thirty-three."

Here’s why:  

  • We are given the equation of  [tex]\boxed{7x-2=33}[/tex].

⸻⸻⸻⸻

[tex]\boxed{\text{Breaking the equation down:}}\\\\7x-2=33\\-------\\\rightarrow \text{'7x' - Seven times a number. The unknown value is 'x'.}\\\\\rightarrow \text{' - 2' - Minus 2.}\\\\\rightarrow \text{'= 33' - Equals 33.}\\---------\\\text{The phrase "'X' less than 'Y'" indicates:}\\\\Y - X \\---------\\\text{Two less than 7 times a number would be:}\\\\\boxed{7x - 2}[/tex]

⸻⸻⸻⸻

The first statement should be the appropriate statement for the given equation.
