Question

Select all of the algebraic expressions that could represent the phrase below.

nine more than the product of 5 times the number of tires t
9 + 5t
5 ▪ t + 9
(9 + 5)t
(5 × t) + 9
5 + 9t

Answer 1

Correct choices:
- 9 + 5t
- 5 ▪ t + 9
- (5 × t) + 9

Reason: "The product of 5 times the number of tires t" is 5t, and "nine more than" that means 5t + 9. All three chosen expressions equal 5t + 9.
(9 + 5)t = 14t, and 5 + 9t = 9t + 5, so those do not match 5t + 9.
