Answer 1

Lila can represent the statement "seven times some number plus thirteen" as an expression using the variable \( x \) for the unknown number. Therefore, the expression would be:

\[ 7x + 13 \]

This captures the idea of multiplying the number (represented by \( x \)) by 7 and then adding 13 to it.
