$4x+-3=8$
Work Step by Step
Often you can rewrite a sentence as an equation by simply reading left to right and transforming each word or phrase into a corresponding term or operation.
$\underbrace{The\ sum\ of\ 4x\ and\ -3}\ \underbrace{is}\ \underbrace{8}.$
$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 4x+-3\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ =\ \ \ \ \ 8$
"Sum" means you are going to add.
"Is" means equals.
