Question

Let x represent the unknown value. seven added to one-sixth of a number. what is the algebraic expression

Answer 1

1/6x + 7 

Answer 2

Take it a step at a time...

 

"one-sixth of a number" -- if x is the number, then this is (1/6)x or x/6.

 

"seven added to" -- that means add 7 to what you got for "one-sixth of a number".  So that would be x/6 + 7.
