Question

Write an expression for the sequence of operations described below.
multiply 5 by j, then triple the result

Answer 1

To express the sequence of operations described, you can follow these steps:

1. Multiply 5 by \( j \): This can be represented as \( 5 \times j \) or simply \( 5j \).
2. Triple the result: This means you take the result from the first operation and multiply it by 3.

Putting it all together, the expression for the sequence of operations is:

\[
3 \times (5j) \quad \text{or simply} \quad 15j
\]

Thus, the final expression is \( 15j \).
