Answer:

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
