what is the algebraic expression for 5 more than twice a number p

Question

please answer i am having trouble :):):0

Answer 1

Here is the answer that I would use:

 

2p + 5

 

This means: 2 times p (twice a number p; p being a variable for a currently unknown number) plus 5 (5 more).

Answer 2

This is a translation:

   " 5 more than twice a number p"

      5      +          2   *         p

 

We would write that with the p-term first followed by the constant:

      2p + 5
