Answer:

This question is asking you to write the algebraic expression for "five times the sum of a number and 8). Basically it is saying take a number (x) and add 8 to it. When we add, the answer is the sum.

So the first part of the expression is (x + 8)

Then multiply that sum by 5

So our answer is 5(x+8)
