Question

Four times a number (x) more than twelve

Answer 1

The phrase "four times a number (x) more than twelve" can be translated into an algebraic expression as follows:

1. "A number" is represented by \( x \).
2. "More than twelve" means we add twelve to \( x \), giving us \( x + 12 \).
3. "Four times" indicates we need to multiply the entire expression from step 2 by 4.

Putting it all together, the algebraic expression is:

\[ 4(x + 12) \]
