Question

Translate into an equation: Five times the sum of a number and six is 48

Answer 1

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

When building equations, the word "is" means "equals".

First, we have the sum of a number and six. You can use any letter to represent the number. I will use n.

(n+6)

We see that this is multiplied by 5. We can just put the 5 next to the parentheses. This shows multiplication.

5(n+6)

Is 48

5(n+6)=48

Have a wonderful day! :D
