Question

Write the mathematical form of following statement using signs and symbols :

$x$ is multiplied by the sum of $y$ and $3$

Answer 1

Writing mathematical form of the given expression ,

$x\to x$ , is multiplied by $\to \times$, sum of$y$ and $3$$\to$$y+3$

$$\begin{gathered} =x\times \left(y+3\right) \\ =x\left(y+3\right) \end{gathered}$$

Therefore, $\mathit{x}$ is multiplied by the sum of $\mathit{y}$ and $\mathbf{3}$ $\mathbf{=}\mathbf{}\mathit{x}\mathbf{}\left(y+3\right)$.
