Question

Write the expressions for the following using brackets: four multiplied by the sum of nine and two.

Answer 1

Hint: We first try to make the given written statement in its mathematical form. We find the sum of 9 and 2. Then we multiply the sum with 4. We follow the multiplication process for signs and find the right sign for the multiplication. We get the mathematical statement as the solution.

Complete step-by-step answer:
The given statement is that we need to find the mathematical form of the expression which is four multiplied by the sum of nine and two.
We break the whole statement in two parts. In one part we do the summation and then in the second part we do the multiplication with 4.
We have to find the summation of the numbers 9 and 2.
Therefore, the algebraic form of the first part will be $ \left( 9+2 \right) $ .
In the second part we need to find the multiplied value of the summation and the number 4.
Therefore, we take the multiplication of 4 and $ \left( 9+2 \right) $ which is $ 4\times \left( 9+2 \right)=4\left( 9+2 \right) $
We also find the solution of the expression $ 4\left( 9+2 \right) $ .
We get $ 4\left( 9+2 \right)=4\times 11=44 $ .
So, the correct answer is “44”.

Note: We can simplify the result and find the value from the expression $ 4\left( 9+2 \right) $ using distributed law.
 $ 4\left( 9+2 \right)=4\times 9+4\times 2=36+8=44 $
The value of the expression is 44 which satisfies the answer.
