Question

Does 5p + 11 represents "5 times the sum of p and 11?" How do you know (explain your reasoning).

Answer 1

No

Explanation:

It does not because 5 times the sum of p and 11 is written like this :-

• 5(p + 11)
• 5p + 55

So, it's not the same.

To get 5p + 11, the correct statement should be :-

• 11 more than than the product of p and 5
