Question

How do you translate the word phrase into a variable expression: sum of two numbers is thirty three?

Answer 1

`x + y = 33`

Explanation:

We use variables, " letters", to represent numbers in a variable expression. In your question, it stated you had two numbers, which are unknown, so I represented the first number with `"x"` and the second with `y` . The sum of the two numbers was given to be `33` so the variable expression became `x + y = 33`.
