Five times the sum of a number and -23.

We need to translate "five times the sum of a number and -23" into an algebraic expression.

[tex]\triangle~\fbox{\bf{KEY:}}[/tex]

  • Can you see the word "sum" there? It tells us to add.

So in this case we should add a number (let it be x) and -23:

[tex]\star~\large\pmb{x+-23}[/tex]

Which is the same thing as

[tex]\star~\large\pmb{x-23}[/tex]

Now we multiply this little expression by 5, which gives us

[tex]\star~\large\pmb{5(x-23)}[/tex]

The parentheses around the  expression indicate that we multiply 5 by the entire expression, and not just one term.

Hope it helps you out! :D
