Step 1: Translate each phrase into an algebraic expression.

  1. "a number added to 7" Let the number be xx.

    x+7x + 7

    The student's work "n-3=13" is an equation, not an expression for "a number added to 7".

  2. "3 times a number take away 4" Let the number be xx. "3 times a number" is 3x3x. "take away 4" means subtract 4.

    3x−43x - 4

    The student's work "3n - 4" is correct if nn represents the number.

  3. "Half a number" Let the number be xx. "Half a number" means dividing the number by 2.

    x2or12x\frac{x}{2} \quad \text{or} \quad \frac{1}{2}x

    The student's work "1/2n n/" correctly shows 12n\frac{1}{2}n or n2\frac{n}{2}.

  4. "5 more than twice a number" Let the number be xx. "twice a number" is 2x2x. "5 more than" means add 5.

    2x+52x + 5

    The student's work "5p-n" is incorrect.

Here are the correct algebraic expressions:

  1. A number added to 7: x+7\boxed{x + 7}
  2. 3 times a number take away 4: 3x−4\boxed{3x - 4}
  3. Half a number: x2\boxed{\frac{x}{2}}
  4. 5 more than twice a number: 2x+5\boxed{2x + 5}
