Answer 1

The correct interpretations of the expression \( n + 5 \) are:

1. the total of a number and 5
2. 5 more than a number
3. the sum of a number and 5

The other options are incorrect interpretations of \( n + 5 \):

• the difference of a number and 5 refers to \( n - 5 \).
• 5 is greater than a number does not accurately express \( n + 5 \).
• 5 less than a number refers to \( n - 5 \).
