What is an expression?
Expression in maths is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using signs like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
We have to write the expression five more than the product of two and a number, decreased by seven.
The expression will be written as follows:-
E = 5 + 2a -7
Now putting the value for a = 8
E = 5 + 2( 8 ) -7
E = 5 + 16 -7
E = 21 - 7
E = 14
Therefore the expression will be written as ( 5 + 2a - 7) and the value of the expression will be 14.
