3 times larger than the sum of 4 and o

Question

What is 3 times larger than the sum of 4 and 9

 

Answer 1

"Three times the sum of" means that we need to add before we multiply, so the expression format looks like this:

3(4 + 9)

What you need to do is add 4 and 9 together. Then once that's done, you multiply that sum by 3 for your final answer.
