Question

Which description can be written as the expression 6b+5?

a) the difference of six times a number and five
b) the sum of six times a number and five
c) quotient of six times a number and five
d) the product of six times a number and five

Answer 1

Option: b is the correct answer.

b) the sum of six times a number and five.

Explanation:

We are given an algebraic expression in term of a variable 'b' as:

6b+5

As we could see that here there are two terms in an expression one is: 6b and the other is 5 which is separated by a summation sign.

Hence, when 6 times of a number 'b' is added to 5 we get the given expression(i.e. 6b+5)

Hence, the answer is: Option: b

Answer 2

Answer: b) the sum of six times a number and five

Explanation:

The given expression is
`6b+5`, where b represents any number.

The above expression has two terms combined by addition operation.

In the first term there is one variable b and 6 as coefficient of b and the second term is a constant term of 5.

Therefore, the correct description of the given expression
`6b+5` is " the sum of six times a number and five".
