Which equation represents the statement: Three times the sum of a number and 5 is –30?
3n + 5 = -30
3(n+5) = -30
n + 15 = -30
(n + 5) ÷ 3 = -30

Answer:

3(n+5)=-30

Step-by-step explanation:

Three times the sum of a number and 5 is - 30

Vocabulary:

times = multiplication, represented with *

sum = addition, represented by +

unknown number = n

Three * the sum of a number and 5

The sum of a number and 5 is the same as saying n + 5

So we are multiplying 3 by n + 5

Because n is an unknown variable we have to separate the sum of n and 5 from being multiplied by 3 with parenthesis. We do this because if we want to multiply 3 by the sum of n and 5. If we put 3 * n + 5 we are only multiplying the unknown variable by 3 not including the 5 that is added to it.

So we get 3( n + 5 ) is -30

3(n+5)=-30 is the answer.

Answer:

[tex]3(n+5)=-30[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Divide the problem into pieces. The sum of a number and five can be written as [tex]n+5[/tex], where n is any number.

2. Since the question tells us that this sum is multiplied by 3, we expand the expression to [tex]3(n+5)[/tex].

3. Finally, the question tells us that this expression is equal to -30. This means we can express the entire statement as the equation [tex]3(n+5)=-30[/tex].
