Write an expression for calculation.

Question

Add 3 to the product of 12 and the sum of 14 and 19.

12 x 14 x 19 + 3
3 +(12 x 14) + 19
3 + 12 x (14 + 19)
3 + (12 x 14 + 19)

Answer 1

To translate the statement "Add 3 to the product of 12 and the sum of 14 and 19" into a mathematical expression, we need to clarify the parts involved:

1. The "sum of 14 and 19" is represented as \(14 + 19\).
2. The "product of 12 and the sum of 14 and 19" can be expressed as \(12 \times (14 + 19)\).
3. Finally, we need to add 3 to this product.

Putting it all together, the correct expression is:

\[ 3 + 12 \times (14 + 19) \]

So, the right expression from your options is:

3 + 12 × (14 + 19).
