Answer:

'x+5'

Explanation:

In the question, we are given a mathematical statement and we have to convert it into an algebraic expression using the information given above.

Let there be a number “x”.

A number 5 more than this number is the number obtained after adding 5 to the given number.

So a number 5 more than x is equal to x+5.

Hence “5 more than a number” written as an algebraic expression is “x+5”.

So, the correct answer is “x+5”.
