Question

Translate this phrase into an algebraic expression.

The sum of 15 and twice Jose’s score

use the variable j to represent Jose’s score

Answer 1

15 + 2j

Explanation:

Sum, which means addition, is used to say that 15 will be added to something.

That "something" is twice Jose's score, which is 2 * j, since j is the score.

15 + 2 * j, or just 15 + 2j
