Question

How do you write an algebraic expression for the phrase: sum of c and q?

Answer 1

`c+q`

Explanation:

The "sum" is the answer to an addition of values.

An expression is a maths sentence which conveys information.

The sum of two numbers (`c and q`) would be written as

`c+q`

Note that no answer is given, so we cannot write and equation, only an expression stating that the two given values are being added together.
