Answer:

  • See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x or y be the variable in each case.

1. Twice the product of the numbers ... x and y (just a guess, its incomplete):

  • 2xy

2. Seven less than a number:

  • x - 7

3. The sum of three consecutive numbers:

  • x + (x + 1) + (x + 2)

4. The sum of two consecutive even numbers is 42:

  • 2x + 2x + 2 = 42

5. The sum of a number and 5 times its reciprocal:

  • x + 5*(1/5)

6. Four more than twice a number:

  • 4 + 2x

7. The square of a number increase by five:

  • x² + 5

8. The sum of two numbers is equal to four more than their difference:

  • x + y = 4 + (x - y)

9. Rian's age four years from now:

  • x + 4

10. Clara's age 10 year from now​:

  • x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let, Number = x

2x

2. Let, Number = x

x - 7

3. Let,

Consecutive numbers = x, x + 1 and x + 2

x + x + 1 + x + 2

3x + 3

4. Let,

Consecutive numbers = a and a + 2

a + a + 2 = 42

2a + 2 = 42

5. Let, Number = x

Reciprocal = 1/x

x + 5/x

6. Let, Number = y

2y + 4

7. Let, Number = y

(x + 8)²

x² + 16x + 64

8. Let,

First number = x

Second number = y

x + y = 4 + (x - y)

9. Let,

Rian's age = y

y + 4

10. Let,

Clara's age = y

y + 10
