Question:

The sum of a number (x) and 12 is multiplied by 10 then increases 15,
which numerical expressions represent this statment, follow by the correct
answer, if x=3.

Answer;

Your answer is correct.....that is option (5)

The sum of a number (x) and 12 = (x+12)


The sum of a number (x) and 12 is multiplied by 10 = (x+12)10

then increases 15,==> (x+12)10 + 15

Now plugg the value x=3 in the above expression, then you will get 165....



Hope you found the explanation useful.
