Let's look at the key words of the sentence and convert into algebraic symbols:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "times = multiplication\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the sum = addition\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and = addition\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now, let's convert the rest:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4 times = 4 *\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2 times x = 2x\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "And 6 = + 6\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Put everything together, and you will have your algebraic expression:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4 * (2x + 6) or 4(2x + 6)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
