Question

Write an expression for the sequence of operations described below.

triple t, add the result to u, then multiply what you have by v

Do not simplify any part of the expression.

Answer 1

triple t ⇒ 3t
add the result to u ⇒ 3t + u
multiply what you have by v ⇒ (3t + u)v

Since it is instructed not to simplify, we perform the distributive property of multiplication.

(3t + u)v = 3tv + uv
