#11. Write "the product of 3 and the sum of a number and 5" as an algebraic expression

The product of three is the same as [ * 3 ]

The sum of a number and five is the same as [ n + 5 ]

[ 3 ] is being multiplied to the sum of [ n + 5 ], so, we can write this using the distributive property [ a(b + c) ]

Put the expression together:

3(n + 5)

Best of Luck!
