Question

Translate....Three times the sum of ten and half a number into a variable expression

Answer 1

`\[30 + (3x)/(2)\]`

Explanation:

Let the number be represented by x.

Then half of the number will be represented by
`\[(x)/(2)\]`

Sum of ten and half the number is
`\[10 + (x)/(2)\]`

Finally , Three times the sum of ten and half the number will be represented as:

`\[3 * (10 + (x)/(2))\]`

This can be simplified as:

`\[30 + (3x)/(2)\]`
