Question

Five times the sum of a number and 6 equals 3

Answer 1

5(x+6)=3.
You need the sum first. So the number and 6 need to go in the parenthesis. Then put the 5 outside of the parentheses like the question asks. It says five times the sum so after the sum you need to multiply by 5.

Answer 2

Answer:

5x+6=3

Step-by-step explanation:

"A number" is a variable.

"Sum" is addition.

"Equals 3" is =3.

"and six" relates to "sum".

So when you put these together it would be 5x+6=3
