Answers

  1. 17. Jamond = 3 + ( Mason + Adam)
    18. Nancy = 5 + Samantha/ Trisha
    19. Jolle = 6 + 4^6
    20. Ricky = 6 – (10 Sam)

    How to write the expressions

    17. Jamond has three more books than sum of Mason and Adam
    The number of books Jamond has is:
    Jamond = 3 + ( Mason + Adam)
    18. Nancy answered five more than the quotient of Samantha and Trisha’s answers
    the number of questions Nancy answered is:
    Nancy = 5 + Samantha/ Trisha
    19. Jolle has learned 6 more than four to the 6th power
    The number of new words she learnt is given as:
    Jolle = 6 + 4^6
    20. Ricky’s practice contains 6 fewer letter than the product of Sam’s answers and 10
    The number of letters Ricky wrote is given as;
    Ricky = 6 – ( Sam × 10)
    Ricky = 6 – (10 Sam)
