Question

Nathan's age can be described as 5 more than 3 times his son's age. If his son's age is represented by the variable "s", write the algebraic expression representing Nathan's age using "s".

Answer 1

Nathan's age can be described as 5 more than 3 times his son's age

Nathan's age = 3s + 5
3s = 3 times his son's age
+ 5 = 5 more

Answer 2

are you there?

Answer 3

yes
so it is 3s x 5 right

Answer 4

not it is 3s plus 5
5 more = addition

Answer 5

oh lol ok so the answer is 8 right

Answer 6

The answer is 3s + 5
The problem is asking you to represent Nathan's age. It is not asking you to solve Nathans age.

Answer 10

If you want to solve Nathan's age you can say his son is 6, which mean s = 6
We can use Nathan's age fromula, which is 3s + 5 to find out how old Nathan is when his son is 6 years old like so

3(6) + 5 = 23
When Nathan son is 6 years of age. Nathan is 23
