Question

Which equation represents the following sentence?
"9 times the sum of 18 and a number is greater than 99"

A. 9 × (n + 18) > 99
B. 9 × (n - 18) > 99
C. 9 × n + 18 > 99
D. 9 + n × 18 > 99

Answer 1

replace times with the x symbol
replace sum of 18 and a number with (18+n)

and you got your answer

Answer 2

THANK I JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF IT HAS PARENTHESES

Answer 3

It would not have parentheses if you cut the phrase like:
the sum of 18....and a number
But then, the sum of 18 has no meaning.

Answer 4

SO IT DOES HAVE THE PARENTHESES
