The sum of one and the product of 4 and a number x

Answer 1

The sum of means to add

so the sum of one and means 1 +

The product means to multiply

so the product of four and a number means

4 x n = 4n (meaning 4 times any variable you use to represent the unknown number, for this I used n)

Therefore the sum of one and the product of four and a number looks like this:

1 + (4n) or 1 + (4 x n) whatever your teacher prefers.

Answer 2

Breaking this down into components :

The sum of one and would look like : 1 +

Next, the product of 4 and a number x would look like : 4x

Putting the two parts together would give you :

1 + (4x)
