Question

How do you write an algebraic expression for the phrase: a number added to thirty-six?

Answer 1

The answer is: `36+ n`

Explanation:

This is because you already have thirty- six and you are adding a number (n) to it. Here is a way to think of it: If you brought 36 cupcakes to a bake sale and your friend brings an unknown number of cupcakes, then you have a number added to 36.
