Explanation:

Given that,

Jayden begins with 25 cups with soil at the greenhouse.

Each day he will fill 5 cups more.

We need to find an algebraic expression to represent the number of cups he will have after n days.

Here, 5 cups increases with number of days and 25 cups remain fix.

Total number of cups after n days = 25 + 5n

Hence, the required answer is "25+5n".
