Question

How would you write 4n + 3 as a verbal expression

Answer 1

4 times a number increased by 3.

When we have a number that appears

right before a variable, it means multiplication.

So 4n means the same thing as 4 times a number.

Remember, n is a variable which is just a

letter that represents any number.

Since we are adding 3 to 4n, we can say

4 times a number increased by 3.

So 4n + 3 can be written as 4 times a number increased by 3.

Answer 2

The product is 4n, then the added +3.

4n + 3

4 × n + 3

So the verbal expression can be said as:

''The product of four times a number 'n' added with 3.''
