Can you translate into equation.

Question

4 more than 5 times a number plus 2 times that number increased by 40

Answer 1

4+ 5x + 2x + 40 if you follow PEMDAS, which then = 7x +44

M before A, multiplication before addition

,

but it's possible you really meant 4+5x + 2(x+40) which = 7x + 84

"4 more than" is 4+

"5 times a number" is 5x

"plus two times that number" is ambiguous. "that number" may means x or 5x or 4+5x

"that number" may means something different from "a number"

"increased by 40" is +40, "that number +40" but "that number" is unclear

if "that number" refers to 4+5x then the entire expression is

4+ 5x + 2(4+5x)+ 40 which equals 52 + 15x

or

possibly

4+5x +2(4+5x+40) which equals 92+15x

"that" and "a" probably refer to different numbers, maybe let y= "that number"

4+5x +2(y+40) = 84 +5x +2y or

4+5x +2y + 40 = 44 + 5x + 2y
