Answer:
(8(n+5))/12
Explanation:
Let's let n stand for our number. And now let's break this down. The sum of a number, n, and 5 is represented as n+5. We're told to multiply to whole thing by eight, so let's write 8(n+5). Then we divide it all by twelve, so take that 8(n+5) and put it all over 12. That would be (8(n+5))/12. We're using all of these parentheses so that it would solve in the correct order. Just as an example, let's let n be -2. We would have:
(8(-2+5))/12
You must solve your parentheses first. Then it is:
(8*3)/12
24/12
Your expression would equal 2 for this example.
