Translate this sentence into an equation; 14 less than julie's score is 62. use the variable m to represent julie's score.

First, when we hear "less than" we should think of subtraction. Since Julie's score is represented by m, 14 less than her score would be the same as m-14 because we need to use subtraction. Then since 14 less than her score is equal to 62, we can set m-14 equal to 62 to get our final answer which is m-14=62.

I hope this helps!

To solve problems like these, we must break it down for each term.

"14 less than Julie's score"
This implies that we are going to have 14 less than the variable that represents Julie's score (which in this case, is m).

m-14

"is 62"
"Is" is almost always used as a way of saying "=," and 62 is the value that it equals.

m-14=62

Using the reasoning above, we can see that an equation to represent this scenario is m-14=62. 

The second one would be the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

The guy above is wrong, the second one is right, I took the assignment.

The guy above is right for the answer on number eight though because there are two of these types of questions asked on this same assignment. I think he got the two questions mixed up, but for question eight he is right, but for question five the second graph is the correct answer.
