Question

The sum of 6 and the product of 3 and d​

Answer 1

6 + 3d

Explanation:

First, we can translate from English words to mathematical operations:

– Product: the result of multiplication

– Sum: the result of addition

So, we can rephrase the original sentence as “the result of adding 6 and (the result of multiplying 3 and d)”

When we multiply a constant like 3 by a variable like d, we usually write the two next to each other, which would be “3d” in this case. We can replace that last sentence in symbols with 6 + 3d
