The answer you are looking for is 1/5(a+34).

Solution/Explanation:

"Of"="multiplication (x)."

So, therefore, write it like this, to get the better picture and visualization,

1/5 times the sum of a number "a" and "34."

"Sum" obviously is related to "addition."

So, therefore, we can simplify the algebraic expression a little bit more,

1/5 times (a+34).

Now, we can finally write it like this.

1/5x(a+34).

The more proper way to write it, however is like this:

1/5(a+34).

So, therefore, the final answer is 1/5(a+34).

I hope that this has helped you. Enjoy your day, and take care!
