To model the situation described where the sum of five and a number is represented, we can define the components as follows:

1. Replace “a number” with **x** (this represents the unknown number).
2. Replace “sum” with **+** (indicating addition).
3. Replace “five” with **5** (the constant number).

Putting this together, the correct algebraic expression is:

**5 + x**.
