Step-by-step explanation:

that's it well done

You can use multiplication along with converting statements to symbols.

The equation for the given condition is given by [tex]y = 42x[/tex]

where y represents the total number of letters Natasha puts in envelops in x hours.

How to form symbolic expressions from the description?

You need to know how to convert the statement to symbolic expression.

Suppose if it is said that a thing is increased by 4,then we write it as

that thing + 4

Suppose if it is written that 'x' objects are sold on p price per object. Since 1 object is sold at p price, then x objects will be sold at:

[tex]p + p + ... + p \: \: \: (x \: \: times) = p \times x[/tex]

Such conversion can help us to form symbolic expressions from the given description.

Since for the given case, in 1 hour, Natasha put 42 letters in envelopes, then in x hour she will put:

[tex]42 + 42 + ... + 42 \: \: (x \: times) = 42 \times x[/tex]

Since in x hours, she puts y envelopes but envelopes put in x hours came out as 42 times x, thus, both the values are equal, or

[tex]y = 42 \times x = 42x \text{\:\:(written in short)}[/tex]

The equation for the given condition is given by [tex]y = 42x[/tex]

where y represents the total number of letters Natasha puts in envelops in x hours.
