The sum of five and number added to the product of ten and the number is?

Question

The Sum of five and a number added to the product of ten and the number is what?

 

Answer 1

let the letter n represent the number in the problem.

 

the sum of 5 and the number is written n + 5

 

the product of 10 and the number is written 10n

 

if these are added we get n + 5 + 10n

 

we combine like terms to get the final answer   11n + 5

 

Does this make sense?
