Question

HELP PLZ Which math expression represents the phrase? 9 times the sum of a number and 7 A. 9 · n + 7 B. 9 · (n + 7) C. 9 · (n – 7) D. 9 · (n · 7)

Answer 1

"The sum of a number and 7"
Sum implies addition.
We would write this part as n + 7.

Then we would write the "9 times" part in like this:
9 · (n + 7)
We can't write just 9 · n + 7 without the parentheses, because then we would be multiplying just 9 and n instead of 9 and the sum of n and 7. (order of operations says we must do multiplication first)

Answer 2

equals what tho??????????????????
