What is an expression?

Expression in maths is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using signs like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Given that:-Emil is running a lemonade stand. He sells half of his lemonade in the morning, a quarter of what was left at lunchtime, and a third of what was left in the afternoon.

When he closes for the day, he has 4 litres of lemonade left. Let the total lemonade he started with is x litres. Now we will form an expression from the given data to calculate the value of x.

x - (x/2) -(1/4)(x/2) - ( 1/4)(x/2)(1/3) = 4

x - ( x/2) - (x/8) - ( x/24) = 4

[ 24x -12x -3x - x][24] = 4

8x  =  96

x = 12 liters

Therefore Emil started his lemonade stand with 12 liters of Lemonade.
