Math Problem Statement
Write the expression. Then, check all that apply.
six times the sum of nine and a number
A 2-column table with 5 rows. Column 1 is labeled Key Words with entries six, times, the sum of, nine, a number. Column 2 is labeled Replace with entries 6, times, (+), 9, n.
Replace “a number” with the variable, n. The two operations are multiplication and addition. The two operations are multiplication and subtraction. The constants are 6 and 9. The expression is written as 6n + 9. The expression is written as 6(9 + n).
Solution
Given the description "six times the sum of nine and a number," we need to write the corresponding expression using the information provided in the table and then check all the applicable statements.
Step 1: Writing the Expression
Based on the keywords provided in the table:
- six: Replaced by
6
- times: Implies multiplication
- the sum of: Implies addition, represented by
(+)
- nine: Replaced by
9
- a number: Replaced by
n
Therefore, the expression for "six times the sum of nine and a number" is:
