Some number increased by two = b + 2
A variable decreased by two = x - 2
Product of an unknown value and two = 2z
Quotient of some number and two = [tex]a \div 2[/tex]
An unknown value squared = [tex]y^2[/tex]
Solution:
Some number increased by two
Let the number be "b"
Therefore, "b" is increased by two
Here, "increased" means added
Thus we get,
Some number increased by two = b + 2
A variable decreased by two
Let the number be "x"
Therefore, "x" is decreased by two
Decreased means reduced or subtraction
Thus we get,
A variable decreased by two = x - 2
Product of an unknown value and two
Let the unknown value be "z"
Product means "multiplication"
Therefore, product of "z" and 2
Product of an unknown value and two = 2z
Quotient of some number and two
Let the some number be "a"
Quotient means result of division
Quotient of some number and two = [tex]a \div 2[/tex]
An unknown value squared
Let the unknown value be "y"
Squared means multiplied by itself
An unknown value squared = [tex]y^2[/tex]
