Answer:

The expression is (---- + 2x)³

Explanation:

To represents a verbal expression as an algebraic expression, we must use mathematics symbol and variables (name the unknowns quantity by letters)

The verbal expression is:

Cube of more than two times a number

→ Give a name for the number, assume that it is x

→ More than means (+)

→ Two times means multiply the number by 2 (x × 2)

→ The cube means power 3 for (---- more than 2x)

The expression is (---- + 2x)³

If the missing is 5, the statement will be The cube of 5 more than two times a number.

∴ The expression is (5 + 2x)³

→ You can choose any number of the missing part
