Question

Translate the following verbal expression to an algebraic expression: the sum of 15 and the product of a number and 4.

Answer 1

The verbal expression "the sum of 15 and the product of a number and 4" can be translated into an algebraic expression as follows:

Let the number be represented by the variable \( x \).

The product of the number and 4 is \( 4x \).

The sum of 15 and that product is represented by:

\[ 15 + 4x \]

So, the complete algebraic expression is:

\[ 15 + 4x \]
